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.
15 Modules
Production Framework + AI Agents
TypeScript + Playwright
6 Weeks
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.
Deterministic Engineering, Extended by AI
Deterministic Playwright Engineering
TypeScript · Locators · Assertions · Page Objects · Fixtures · Debugging · CI/CD · Reporting
AI-Native Test Engineering
Copilot · MCP · Planner Agent · Generator Agent · Healing Agent · Claude Code · Playwright CLI
AI extends strong test engineering. It does not replace engineering judgment.
Technology Ecosystem
Core Engineering
Python 3.11 · Pytest · REST APIs · JSON Schema · Git · GitHub
AI & Agent Layer
OpenAI API · Mock LLMs · Live LLMs · Tool / Function Calling
LangGraph or equivalent stateful orchestration
Evaluation Layer
Deterministic evaluators · rubric-based evaluation · LLM-as-judge · judge calibration
RAG metrics · groundedness · faithfulness · optional RAGAS, DeepEval or LangSmith
Delivery & Evidence
GitHub Actions · HTML reports · JSON reports · structured logs
Execution traces · quality scorecards
AI-Assisted Development
VS Code Coding Agent
AI accelerates implementation. The learner owns test design, verification, diagnosis and final quality judgement.
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.
