Claude Code & AI: Playwright Test Automation for QA

Playwright test automation with Claude Code: generate, debug, refactor and review AI-driven tests for QA and SDETs.

Most "AI for QA" courses are a shallow tour of tools. This one teaches one complete, professional workflow, end to end with Claude Code, an agentic AI coding tool: writing real Playwright tests the way a senior engineer actually works. The instructor is Gianni, an SDET and the person behind WebDriverUniversity, with 100,000+ students across his QA courses.

AI can write a test in seconds. Making that output reliable enough to ship is the real job, and that is what you learn here.

The workflow you will master

• Generate: turn manual scenarios, acceptance criteria, and live app behaviour into Playwright tests
• Debug: fix flaky, failing, and false-positive tests with the trace viewer and a repeatable method
• Refactor: reshape AI output into clean Page Objects, fixtures, and helpers
• Review: catch hallucinated selectors, weak assertions, and missing coverage, then lock the standards into a Claude ruleset

Capstone project

Build a complete end-to-end test suite for a real restaurant-booking app from scratch, with API and network mocking, negative-path coverage, and a genuine bug you track down and fix.

Who it is for

• QA engineers and SDETs who want AI to write real, maintainable suites, not throwaway demos
• Manual testers moving into test automation
• Anyone curious how senior engineers use agentic AI in day-to-day QA work

No prior experience with Claude Code or AI is required. Basic Playwright knowledge is helpful, but everything is explained step by step.
