LEARNING OBJECTIVE
By the end of this course, you will be able to
Build a complete Playwright project in JavaScript with page objects, API test coverage and a working GitHub Actions CI integration.
Configure Playwright's auto-waiting mechanism and fixture model so your tests stay reliable instead of flaking under load.
Integrate API and UI test layers into one framework, covering more of the application than UI tests alone ever could.
Deploy your test suite to run automatically in a CI pipeline on every push, not just from your own machine.
Justify your framework's design decisions in a portfolio walkthrough, the conversation that gets you past a junior automation interview.
TARGET LEARNER
Who this course is for
QA engineers who know Selenium and want to move to Playwright learning modern locators, fixture-based isolation, and parallel execution that enterprise teams now expect.
JavaScript developers moving into test automation who want a structured path to a production-ready framework, not scattered online tutorials.
Professionals targeting senior automation roles at modern technology companies who need a framework project they can demo and explain in interviews.
If you see yourself in one of these, this course is built for you.
Prerequisites
What you need
Prior JavaScript and QA experience is required before joining.
Basic JavaScript knowledge including variables, functions, and async/await is needed.
Familiarity with manual testing concepts and test case design is expected.
A laptop with Node.js, VS Code, and a modern browser installed is required.
Learners should be ready to write and run end-to-end Playwright tests from the first session.
COURSE OVERVIEW
What this course is about
Playwright Test Automation with JavaScript is a structured, instructor-led programme for QA engineers who want to build a modern, production-ready test framework. The course covers modern locators, fixture-based test isolation, API testing, and CI integration in depth, combining real Playwright code with a growing project throughout every session.
The programme runs across 14 one-and-a-half-hour live sessions over 7 weeks, progressing through Playwright setup, and locators and interactions before finishing with fixtures and test isolation, API testing, parallel execution, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions. Every topic is built directly into a single project used throughout the course.
Prior JavaScript and QA experience are assumed throughout the course. A GitHub Actions pipeline is built alongside the framework from session one so learners are producing a real, running CI setup throughout, not just local test scripts.
What the course covers:
Playwright Basics: setup, locators, and element interactions.
Framework Design: fixtures, test isolation, and the Page Object Model.
API Testing: covering the application beyond the UI layer.
Execution and Reporting: parallel test runs and structured reporting.
CI/CD: a complete GitHub Actions integration.
CIRRICULUM
7 Modules. 14 live Sessions. Hundreds of small wins.
The curriculum starts with Playwright setup, then moves through locators and fixtures before finishing with the Page Object Model, API testing, parallel execution, and a full CI/CD pipeline.
01
Playwright Setup and First Tests
Install, configure, write your first test, run it, understand what just happened
02
Locators and Interactions
Playwright's modern locator engine stable, readable selectors that outlast UI changes
03
Fixtures and Test Isolation
Playwright fixtures for test data, authentication, and context management
04
Page Object Model in Playwright
Typed page objects with Playwright's built-in patterns maintainable at scale
05
API Testing with Playwright
Test REST APIs directly from Playwright integration tests that cover the full stack
06
Parallel Execution and Reporting
Run across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit in parallel HTML reports, traces, and screenshots on failure
07
CI/CD with GitHub Actions
Automated pipeline push to main, tests run, results reported back to the PR

FAQ
1
Who is this course designed for?
This course is designed for QA engineers who know Selenium and want to learn Playwright, JavaScript developers moving into test automation, and professionals targeting senior automation roles at modern technology companies.
2
What prior experience do I need?
Basic JavaScript knowledge functions, objects, async/await and familiarity with web application testing concepts.
3
What will I be able to do by the end?
You will be able to build a complete Playwright framework, use modern locators and fixtures, test UI and API layers in the same suite, run tests in parallel across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, and integrate the framework into a GitHub Actions CI pipeline.
4
How are the sessions structured?
Seven modules, 1.5 hours per session, 14 sessions over seven weeks.
5
What is EngagePro?
Playwright locator strategy cards, fixture configuration examples, and API testing pattern references per session. Each task involves writing a Playwright test scenario on a live web application. Ravi Kumar reviews all framework submissions with code quality scores and refactoring recommendations.
6
What tools do I need?
A laptop with Node.js, VS Code, and Git installed. All are free.
7
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes the ITLearnner Playwright Automation Certificate on completing the course and framework build.
8
How does Playwright compare to Selenium for modern test automation?
Playwright offers several advantages over Selenium for modern web testing, built-in auto-waiting reduces flaky tests, native support for multiple browsers in a single API, faster execution, and first-class TypeScript support. Playwright also handles modern web patterns like shadow DOM, iframes, and network interception more elegantly. It has become the preferred framework for many new automation projects in the UK market.
9
Will this course cover Playwright's API testing capabilities?
Yes, in addition to UI automation, the course covers Playwright's API testing features which allow you to combine UI and API assertions within the same test suite. This is one of Playwright's most powerful and increasingly used capabilities in professional QA teams that want a single tool covering both layers of their test strategy.
10
What CI/CD tools will I integrate Playwright with during the course?
The course covers integration with GitHub Actions as the primary CI platform, with guidance on running Playwright tests in parallel, managing test environments, and publishing HTML reports within a pipeline. The principles are transferable to other CI systems including GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps, which are all commonly used in UK engineering teams.
