Playwright Automation Testing: Complete Guide with TypeScript

This book begins with the fundamentals of test automation and guides you through setting up your development environment, writing your first Playwright test, and understanding the modern testing landscape. As you progress, you’ll dive deeper into essential Playwright concepts such as handling browsers and contexts, locating and interacting with elements, managing waits and timeouts, and working with advanced features like dialogs, file uploads, downloads, and network mocking.

With a dedicated section on TypeScript integration, you’ll learn how to leverage type safety, custom types, and generics to write clean, maintainable, and scalable test automation code. The book also emphasizes best practices—covering data-driven testing, debugging, optimization, and configuration management—to help you build robust testing workflows.

You’ll also gain practical insights into reporting, CI/CD integration, and parallel execution strategies, ensuring your tests are production-ready. Finally, the book walks you through building a Page Object Model (POM)-based framework from scratch, culminating in a complete, industry-standard automation solution.

By the end of this book, you will have all the knowledge and hands-on experience required to design, implement, and scale Playwright test automation projects with TypeScript—making it an indispensable guide for modern QA engineers and software developers.
