Test Automation Engineering
Playwright Automation Engineering with AI Agents
Build modern end-to-end test automation. Engineer scalable Playwright frameworks. Use MCP and AI agents to plan, generate, debug and heal tests.

Production Framework + AI Agents
TypeScript + Playwright

Why It Matters
Automation has evolved: Manual Testing → Scripted Automation → Framework Engineering → CI/CD Automation → AI-Assisted Testing → Agentic Automation.
Deterministic test engineering and AI-assisted engineering are complementary, not competing skills.
Core principle: AI does not replace test engineering judgment. The engineer remains responsible for test intent, assertions, maintainability and final validation.

Curriculum
What You’ll Achieve
Build Playwright end-to-end test suites in TypeScript with a Page Object framework and custom fixtures.
Debug using Playwright Inspector, Trace Viewer and VS Code.
Run multi-browser, parallel, data-driven tests with HTML and Allure reporting through GitHub CI.
Use MCP, Copilot Agent Mode and Planner/Generator/Healing agents responsibly, with engineer review as the final validation step.
From Test Automation to Agentic Test Engineering
Testing Goal
Engineer defines intent
→
Planner Agent
Plans test scenarios
→
Generator Agent
Generates test code
→
Playwright Execution
Runs tests, captures results
→
Healing Agent
Proposes fixes for breakages
→
Engineer Review
Final validation of intent, assertions & maintainability
AI does not replace test engineering judgment. The engineer remains responsible for test intent, assertions, maintainability and final validation.

Capstone / Portfolio
Agent Workflow
Testing Goal → Planner Agent → Generator Agent → Playwright Execution → Healing Agent → Engineer Review
Claude Code Workflow
Engineer Intent → Claude Code Agent → Playwright CLI → Test Code → Execution Evidence → Engineer Validation
This is the shift from ‘AI suggests code’ toward ‘AI executes structured testing work through tools’ — human engineering review remains mandatory.
Career Relevance
Suited to QA professionals modernizing into automation, Automation Test Engineers, SDETs, and Test/QA Leads.
Recommended background: basic testing knowledge and willingness to work in a code-first environment. TypeScript is taught within the program.
