Web Automation Testing Using Playwright

Playwright has established itself as one of the most capable and developer-friendly browser automation frameworks available, and Web Automation Testing Using Playwright gives it a thorough, practically grounded treatment across the full range of testing types that modern web applications demand. Kailash Pathak covers end-to-end testing, API testing, accessibility testing, and visual regression testing in a single cohesive resource, reflecting the reality that serious test automation isn’t just about checking user flows but about building confidence across multiple dimensions of application quality. The book moves through Playwright’s architecture and setup, then into the specific implementation patterns for each testing type, with enough technical depth to serve as a genuine working reference rather than a superficial introduction that leaves readers figuring out the hard parts on their own. Playwright’s cross-browser capabilities, its async testing model, and its built-in tooling for debugging and tracing all receive attention in the context of real testing scenarios rather than isolated feature demonstrations. At 362 pages, the coverage is thorough without becoming exhaustive, keeping the focus on the testing practices and patterns that actually matter for building reliable automated test suites. For QA engineers, developers responsible for their own test coverage, and automation professionals who want a comprehensive, practically focused guide to Playwright specifically, this covers the ground that more general testing resources tend to leave to readers to figure out from documentation.
