Modern web applications require reliable, maintainable, and fast automated testing. Playwright has emerged as a powerful framework for end-to-end testing across modern browsers and applications.
Playwright: A Complete Guide to Modern End-to-End Testing with TypeScript provides a practical, structured approach to building modern browser automation and testing frameworks with Playwright and TypeScript.
The book starts with Playwright fundamentals and gradually moves into advanced and production-oriented topics. Readers learn how to work with browsers, contexts, pages, locators, assertions, authentication, fixtures, Page Object Model architecture, APIs, network interception, debugging, reporting, parallel execution, and CI/CD.
