Playwright Automation Testing Notes

Playwright Automation Testing Notes

1. Introduction to Automation Testing

What is Automation Testing?

Automation testing uses tools and scripts to execute test cases. Unlike manual testing, where a person interacts with the

software, automation testing relies on predefined instructions to perform the same actions. This saves time, ensures

consistency, and is especially useful for repetitive or complex scenarios.

Why Playwright?

Playwright is a modern end-to-end testing tool that stands out for its features:

- Multi-Browser Support: It can run tests on Chromium (Google Chrome/Edge), Firefox, and WebKit (Safari).

- Fast and Reliable: Built-in auto-wait ensures actions are performed only when the application is ready.

- Cross-Platform: Playwright tests can be executed on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

- Modern Features: Includes API mocking, mobile device emulation, and more, making it suitable for testing modern web

applications.

2. Setting Up Playwright

Prerequisites

- Node.js: Playwright requires Node.js to run. Install it from the official Node.js website.

- Basic Knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript: Familiarity with these programming languages is essential.

Installation Steps:

1. Initialize a Node.js Project: This creates a package.json file to manage dependencies.

2. Install Playwright: This downloads the Playwright library and necessary browser binaries.

3. Run the Test Generator: Playwright provides a code generator to create test scripts interactively.

Project Structure:

A typical Playwright project looks like this:

project-folder/

|-- tests/

| |-- example.test.js # Contains test scripts

|-- playwright.config.js # Global configurations

|-- package.json # Dependency manager

|-- node_modules/ # Installed modules
