Playwright Automation Fundamentals (Self-Paced) with Automation Tech Guru

Phase 1 - Foundation

Complete Playwright Automation Program

What this phase is: A complete, standalone introduction to writing and running real Playwright tests. Nobody needs anything beyond this to say "I can automate a browser."

Day 1 — Getting Started with Playwright & Environment Setup

• • Overview of Playwright and its significance in web automation
  • Step-by-step guide on installing and setting up Playwright
  • Create a basic test script and execute it in different browsers

Day 2 — Understanding the DOM & Basic Locators

• • Overview of the DOM and how a browser structures a webpage
  • Introduction to Playwright locators — the recommended way to find elements
  • Write a simple script to locate and verify elements on a page

Day 3 — Automating User Interactions - click, type, keyboard/mouse, forms

• • Overview of the interactions Playwright can automate — clicks, typing, selections
  • Step-by-step guide to automating a form (login or signup page)
  • Practice: build and run your own interaction-based test

Day 4 — Assertions & Waits

• • Why assertions matter in testing, and how Playwright checks results
  • Overview of Playwright's automatic waiting, so tests don't break unnecessarily
  • Write your first assertion-based test

Day 5 — AI-Driven Test Design & Recap

• • Overview of using AI tools like ChatGPT to help design and write tests
  • Step-by-step: turning a plain-English description into a working test
  • Live session: week recap, open Q&A, and what's next in Phase 2

Where this naturally leads: These scripts are real, but they're separate files — nothing shared between them, no reusable structure, and nothing that touches an API yet. The moment you want to test more than a handful of pages, or need your UI and API checks to work together, you're describing framework design — which is exactly what Phase 2 builds.
