This is not just a repository; it's a comprehensive, self-paced online course platform designed exclusively for manual QA professionals ready to transition into the world of test automation. If you're looking to level up your skills, future-proof your career, and master one of the most in-demand testing frameworks, you've come to the right place.
We've structured this entire project like a professional online course to guide you from absolute beginner to a confident and proficient QA Automation Engineer using Playwright with TypeScript.
By the end of this course, you will have gained the practical skills and confidence to:
- Build a Professional Automation Framework: Go from zero coding experience to designing and building a scalable test automation framework from scratch.
- Master TypeScript Fundamentals: Understand the core programming concepts needed for test automation, including async/await, and the power of static typing.
- Develop Robust E2E and API Tests: Write, execute, and debug real-world automated tests for both user interfaces and APIs.
- Leverage Playwright's Best Practices: Expertly use modern Playwright features like web-first assertions, locators, and the Page Object Model (POM).
- Integrate Tests into CI/CD: Understand how to run your test suite automatically in a continuous integration pipeline.
- Think Like an Automation Engineer: Develop the problem-solving skills to effectively troubleshoot and maintain your test scripts.
Our curriculum is organized into a progressive, 14-module learning path that takes you from foundational concepts to advanced, specialized skills. This structure ensures you build a strong base before tackling more complex topics.
These modules are essential for anyone new to automation. They cover the foundational knowledge required to become a successful QA Automation Engineer.
