Roadmap Learning : Playwright Automation
Tool with JavaScript or TypeScript
Learning Playwright for browser automation using JavaScript or TypeScript involves mastering
fundamental programming concepts alongside practical Playwright techniques. This roadmap
offers a structured approach to building proficiency in both areas, ensuring you can automate
browser tasks effectively.
Module 1: Introduction to JavaScript and TypeScript
Topic 1: Basics of JavaScript
• Syntax and Variables: Understand basic syntax, variables, and data types.
• Control Structures: Learn about conditionals (if-else) and loops (for, while).
• Functions: Definition, invocation, and scope.
• Objects and Arrays: Basic data structures for organizing data.
Topic 2: Advanced JavaScript Concepts
• ES6 Features: Arrow functions, template literals, destructuring, and spread operators.
• Promises and Async/Await: Managing asynchronous operations effectively.
• Modules: Organizing code using modules.
• Error Handling: Techniques for handling errors gracefully.
Topic 3: Introduction to TypeScript
• Basics: Understanding TypeScript syntax, interfaces, and type annotations.
• TypeScript vs. JavaScript: Differences and advantages.
• Compiling TypeScript to JavaScript: Setting up and configuring TypeScript with a build
system.
Module 2: Introduction to Playwright
Topic 1: Setting up the Environment
• Installation: Installing Node.js and Playwright with TypeScript support.
• Project Setup: Initializing a new Node.js project and adding Playwright and TypeScript.
Topic 2: Playwright Basics
• Launching Browsers: Opening browsers like Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.
• Creating Pages and Contexts: Understanding browser contexts and pages.
• Navigating Pages: Interacting with web pages by navigating URLs.

Module 3: Browser Interactions
Topic 1: Element Selectors and Actions
• Selectors: Using CSS, XPath, and text selectors.
• Basic Actions: Clicking, typing, and interacting with DOM elements.
• Advanced Actions: Handling complex elements like dropdowns and checkboxes.
Topic 2: Handling Forms and Inputs
• Form Automation: Filling out and submitting forms.
• File Uploads: Managing file uploads within Playwright.
• Assertions: Verifying form inputs and submission results.
Module 4: Advanced Playwright Features
Topic 1: Managing Multiple Pages and Frames
• New Windows and Tabs: Handling multiple browser windows and tabs.
• Frames and Iframes: Navigating and interacting with frames within web pages.
Topic 2: Network Interception and Mocking
• Interception: Capturing and manipulating network requests and responses.
• Mocking: Simulating API responses for testing purposes.
Topic 3: Screenshots and Videos
• Screenshots: Capturing and customizing screenshots during tests.
• Video Recording: Recording test executions for review and analysis.
Module 5: Testing and Automation Workflows
Topic 1: Writing and Running Tests
• Test Frameworks: Integrating Playwright with Cucumber, Mocha, or other frameworks.
• Assertions and Validation: Writing assertions to validate expected outcomes.
• Test Execution: Configuring and executing tests using Playwright's built-in capabilities.
Topic 2: Debugging and Troubleshooting
• Debugging Tools: Using Playwright Inspector and browser developer tools for
debugging.
• Error Handling: Identifying and resolving errors encountered during test execution.
Topic 3: Continuous Integration
• CI/CD Integration: Setting up Playwright tests within CI pipelines for automated
testing.

Module 6: Best Practices and Optimization
Topic 1: Best Practices for Automation
• Code Organization: Structuring test code for readability and maintainability.
• Reusable Components: Creating reusable functions and page objects for efficient test
development.
Topic 2: Performance Optimization
• Improving Test Speed: Optimizing tests for faster execution.
• Parallel Testing: Running tests in parallel to reduce overall test suite execution time.
This roadmap provides a versatile approach to learning Playwright automation with both
JavaScript and TypeScript, allowing you to choose the programming language that best fits your
preferences and project requirements.
