Start: 2025-12-04T17:30:00.000Z
Location: Bloc

🧪 MCR.Test is back - and before the year’s out, we’re diving into Front-End Automation Tooling for an evening of hands-on learning, open discussions, and friendly competition.

Join us at **Matillion HQ** (a fan favourite and a partner we’re thrilled to continue working with) for another chance to **connect, share, and grow with Manchester’s thriving testing community**.

But remember, this isn’t your usual “sit and listen” meetup. Expect **open discussions, live exercises**, and a chance to get stuck in with tools like **Playwright**, all guided by people who’ve lived & breathed it 💬

**What to Expect:**

**Part One – Exercise and Community Discussion:**
A lively, open chat around front-end automation tooling (not just Playwright).

We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what tools you’re using day-to-day - led by **[Gina Chelton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gina-chelton-505b731ab/)**

**Part Two – Playwright Coding Challenge:**

After a quick food break 🍕, we’ll roll up our sleeves for a live Playwright exercise led by **[Chris Done](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-done-4bb12799/)**

And remember, Bring **your laptop!** Prizes for the best-performing groups 🎁

👩‍💻🧑‍💻 **Who Should Come?**

Anyone passionate about testing, automation, or curious about front-end QA. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, this event is for you.

**Spaces are limited**, grab your spot early!

MCR.Test is proudly powered by **MRJ Recruitment**, the team behind some of the North’s most forward-thinking tech events. More than a meetup, MCR.Test is a **thriving community** where testers connect, share knowledge, and help shape the future of QA in Manchester.
