Playwright Test Automation Training in San Francisco, USA

The Playwright Test Automation Training is a practical, instructor-led program designed to provide participants with the skills required to build, execute, debug, and maintain modern web application test automation using Playwright. The program covers Playwright's core automation capabilities, browser interactions, locators, assertions, test organization, debugging, reporting, cross-browser testing, and test optimization.

The training can be delivered using TypeScript/JavaScript or Python, allowing participants to work with Playwright in the programming language most relevant to their existing development or testing environment. Core Playwright concepts remain common across both approaches, while demonstrations and hands-on activities can be aligned with the selected language track.

The program combines instructor-led explanations, demonstrations, guided practical activities, troubleshooting scenarios, and hands-on exercises to help participants develop practical Playwright automation skills.
