Playwright from zero to a production framework: TypeScript, POM, API testing, CI/CD, Playwright Agents and MCP

What you'll learn:
  • Build a production-grade Playwright framework in TypeScript from an empty folder to CI/CD
  • Write stable E2E tests with modern locators, auto-waiting and web-first assertions
  • Master the Page Object Model, components and abstract base pages
  • Test REST APIs with Playwright like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, auth tokens, JSON assertions — no extra tools
  • Generate, refactor and maintain entire test suites with Playwright Agents, MCP and AI editors
  • Catch UI bugs automatically with visual regression testing across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit
  • Add BDD with Cucumber and CodeceptJS, plus custom reporting
  • Ship a portfolio-ready GitHub repository you can show in QA automation interviews
  • Answer the most common Playwright interview questions with confidence

Build a production-grade Playwright framework — and let AI agents do half the work.

Updated August 2026: Playwright Agents, MCP servers and AI-editor workflows


Most Playwright courses teach you to write tests. This one teaches you to build the framework a real QA team ships — and then shows you how to generate, refactor and document it with AI agents in a fraction of the time.


No 60-hour lecture marathon. No theory you'll never use. In focused, hands-on sessions you go from npm init to a complete, CI-integrated automation framework — every line of code written on screen, every project source code is available to download


What you'll actually build:

Project 1 — E2E banking app suite: login/logout flows, feedback forms, search, fund transfers, transaction filtering, payments and a currency-exchange challenge you solve yourself.

Project 2 — REST API test suite: full CRUD coverage, token authentication, JSON assertions and a CI pipeline that runs it on every commit.

Project 3 — AI-generated framework: a complete Playwright project scaffolded, refactored to the Page Object Model, converted from JavaScript to TypeScript and documented — driven almost entirely by prompts.


You'll finish this course able to:

Set up Playwright with TypeScript on any project, correctly, in under 10 minutes

Write tests that don't break every sprint

Structure a framework that scales past large tests suites

Use AI agents to do the repetitive 80% — and know when not to trust them


Who this is for?

Manual testers moving into automation (JavaScript basics are covered from scratch)

Selenium, Cypress or Puppeteer users migrating to Playwright

QA engineers and SDETs who need a framework, not a tutorial

Developers who want reliable E2E coverage without hiring a QA team


Is Playwright worth learning if I already know Cypress or Selenium?

Yes. Playwright runs on Chromium, Firefox and WebKit from one API, auto-waits by default, tests APIs natively and now ships its own AI agents. Job postings have followed. There's a dedicated migration lecture for Cypress and Selenium users.


What if it's not for me?
