Abstract 2:
Automating the User Journey: Advanced Playwright for E2E Testing
Modern apps demand more than just click-through tests. This talk dives into how Playwright can power production-grade E2E automation for complex, stateful user journeys. We’ll cover advanced scenarios like mocking third-party APIs, managing authentication flows, handling file uploads, and building reusable test architectures that scale across teams and pipelines. Using an home adaptation platform web app as a case study, we’ll show how to integrate Playwright seamlessly into CI/CD, generate rich debugging artifacts, and keep suites fast and reliable. This isn’t an introduction — it’s about moving from “just testing” to engineering maintainable quality at scale.
