Playwright with TypeScript — Professional

Guide

1. Framework Architecture
A scalable Playwright framework typically follows layered architecture:

Layer Description
Tests Actual test cases
Page Objects Reusable UI actions
Utilities Helpers & common functions
Config Playwright configuration

2. Page Object Model (POM)


Encapsulates UI interactions into reusable classes.

export class LoginPage { constructor(private page) {} async


login(username: string, password: string) { await [Link]('#user',
username); await [Link]('#pass', password); await
[Link]('#login'); } }

3. Advanced Fixtures
Fixtures provide reusable test setup.

import { test as base } from '@playwright/test'; export const test =


[Link]({ loginPage: async ({ page }, use) => { await use(new
LoginPage(page)); } });

4. API Testing
Playwright supports direct API calls.

const response = await [Link]('/login', { data: { user: 'test',


pass: '123' } });

5. CI/CD Pipeline Flow


Typical execution flow:

Code Push → Build → Install Dependencies → Run Tests → Generate Reports

6. Playwright + Cucumber (BDD)


Integrate BDD using feature files.
Feature: Login Scenario: Successful login Given user opens app When user
logs in Then dashboard is visible

7. Interview Deep Dive


• Why Playwright over Selenium? → Auto-wait, speed, modern API • Fixtures vs Hooks → Fixtures
are reusable & scoped • Parallel Execution → Built-in, configurable workers • Network Mocking →
Intercept API calls

8. Best Practices
• Avoid hard waits • Use data-driven testing • Keep tests independent • Use proper folder structure

9. Real Project Tips


• Integrate Allure reports • Use environment configs • Maintain reusable utilities • Implement retry
strategy
