Playwright TypeScript Automation Testing: E2E, API, AI, MCP

About this course

Learn Microsoft Playwright the way it's actually used in 2026 — with TypeScript and AI test automation built in from day one.

Playwright has become the tool of choice for modern automation testing, overtaking Cypress and Selenium in real-world adoption. But most Playwright courses still teach it against throwaway demo pages and stop exactly where the interesting problems begin. This one doesn't.

You'll build a complete, professional Playwright test automation framework in TypeScript from scratch — and you'll run it against a real, full-stack web application built specifically for this course. Logins with validation, dynamic data tables, iframes, file uploads, authentication flows, a live REST API, and deliberately tricky pages designed to teach you how to handle flaky, real-world elements. If you've ever finished a software testing course and thought "but the real apps at work are nothing like this," that gap is exactly what this course closes.

What makes this course different

It's built for 2026, not 2020. AI test automation is no longer a buzzword — it's how modern QA automation teams work. You'll learn to use AI where it genuinely helps: generating tests, self-healing broken locators, and speeding up your workflow with Playwright MCP and Claude Code. This isn't a bolt-on "AI" chapter tacked onto the end. It's woven into how you'll actually work as an automation engineer. Most courses only talk about AI-powered testing. Here, you'll watch Playwright MCP work against a real accessibility tree — and then do it yourself.

You'll practice on a real application. Every concept is taught against the course's companion app — a full UI plus a real REST API — so you're not just learning syntax. You're solving the same problems you'll face on the job: iframes, authentication, file handling, dynamic tables, and elements that don't behave. The app stays online after the course ends, so you can keep practicing web automation and API automation
