This course will teach you the fastest emerging automation testing tool Playwright. It is an open-source test automation library initially developed by Microsoft contributors. Microsoft Playwright is a cross-browser automation library for end-to-end testing. The goal of Playwright is to provide a single API to developers and testers to automate their web applications across today’s three major browser engines: Mozilla Firefox and WebKit. It’s easy to set up, feature-packed, and the fastest, most reliable frameworks available.

This course will teach you a unique technique for integration between Playwright and PyTest.

This course will teach you how to use Microsoft Playwright with plenty of examples and individual projects. Playwright provides a Pytest plugin to write end-to-end tests. You will learn how to integrate Playwright with PyTest and Python to generate robust automation tests for your application. Here you will learn by doing.

Playwright Advantages

• Easy Setup and Configuration: Being a Test Automation Framework, it just needs a configuration as the installation doesn’t take much time. Depending on the language we use with Playwright, the installation steps might change

• Multi-Browser Support: Chromium family browsers (Chrome, Edge), Webkit (Safari), and Firefox are all supported.

• Multi-Language Support: Playwright supports Java, C#, Python, Javascript/ Typescript making it a popular choice. Most of the modern open-source test automation frameworks miss this feature.

• Types of Testing: Playwright supports Functional, End to End, and API Testing. With a Third-party plugin, Playwright can be integrated with Accessibility Testing

• Parallel Browser Testing: Playwright also supports the execution of simultaneous tests through Browser Context and can run parallel tests with multiple browsers. This scales up testing and comes in handy when multiple web pages have to be tested simultaneously.

• Support for Multiple Tab/Browser Window: Playwright supports multi-tab and multi-window. Some test cases need to verify the scenario by launching a new window and returning to the parent window. Playwright supports all different types of test cases.
