Playwright & Python Automation Framework From Zero to Hero

Goals

• Create a fully functional, scaleable UI test automation framework using Playwright and Python.
• Use Pytest with fixtures, modular structure, and reusable components to structure your tests in a logical way.
• Leverage real-world best practices like error handling, logging, and managing test data.
• Perform data-driven testing with near-zero duplication of code.
• Provide rich reporting by using an Allure test report with screenshots and logs on failures.
• Keep your testing architecture clean while testing both in a page object layer and a utility layer.
• Debug failures quickly and learn how to debug flaky tests.
• Defend design decisions and framework decisions in code reviews or team discussions.

Prerequisites

• Basic Python knowledge – You should feel comfortable reading and writing simple Python code (functions, variables, loops).
• Familiarity with web element selectors – Understanding concepts like IDs, classes, and XPath is helpful, though not required.
• Some exposure to OOP principles – Not mandatory, but encouraged for better code organization.
• No prior experience with Playwright needed – We guide you step-by-step from the very beginning.
• A working Python environment – For example, having PyCharm or VS Code installed with Python set up.
