Workshop Description
In this Advanced Playwright Features workshop, we will explore a suite of powerful techniques to elevate your test automation practices using TypeScript. You’ll get hands-on experience with features like network mocking, request interception for real-time API validation, visual testing, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines to achieve faster, more stable feedback loops. We’ll also cover best practices for browser context isolation, parallel test execution, and efficient test data management.
In the final 20 minutes of the workshop, we’ll introduce an extendable Playwright framework enhanced with AI capabilities. You’ll see how natural language prompts can generate test scenarios, explore the fundamentals of prompt engineering, and discuss new Agentic workflows for quality engineering teams.
