Modern Web Testing with Playwright

by Andrew Knight, Principal Architect at Cycle Labs

About Topic

Everybody gets frustrated when web apps are broken, but testing them thoroughly doesn’t need to be a chore. Playwright, a new open-source browser automation tool from Microsoft, makes testing web apps fun! Playwright offers a slew of nifty features like automatic waiting, mobile emulation, and network interception. Plus, with isolated browser contexts, Playwright tests can set up much faster than traditional Web UI tests.

In this session, we will automate concise yet robust web app tests for a Kanban board web app with Playwright in TypeScript. Specifically, we will cover:

1. How to install and configure Playwright
2. How to perform interactions through page objects
3. How to conveniently run different browsers, capture videos, and run tests in parallel

After this session, you’ll be empowered to test modern web apps of any kind with modern web test tools. You’ll also be able to compare Playwright with other tools like Selenium WebDriver and Cypress.
