Modern Web Test Automation with Playwright and Python

About this course

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Start by exploring how Playwright and Python work together to deliver fast and reliable web test automation. You’ll learn how to design a clean project structure, set up configurations, and create smart defaults that support long-term scalability. You then build the core of your framework, adding logging, screenshots, utilities, and applying the Page Object Model to keep your code organized. As you advance, you’ll write smart, data-driven tests, design meaningful validations, and use fixtures and planning techniques to produce clear and maintainable test suites. The course wraps up with efficient test execution, debugging skills, and creating polished reports with Allure. This course is ideal for QA engineers, SDETs, and developers with basic Python skills. By the end of the course, you will be able to build a scalable automation architecture, implement POM, create data-driven tests, and generate effective automated reports.
