Master Playwright + TypeScript. The Stack the Industry is Moving To.
Agentic testing, self-healing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines — built the way senior SDETs do it in production.
Playwright is now the automation framework of choice for teams that move fast. This course teaches you not just how to use Playwright — but how to architect enterprise frameworks with TypeScript, integrate agentic testing loops with MCP, implement self-healing test logic, and run everything through CI/CD pipelines. If you want to be the SDET who gets hired in 2026 and beyond, this is the course.

FAQs
This course is for manual testers, automation engineers, and QA professionals who want to transition from Selenium or from manual testing to Playwright — the modern automation framework of choice for enterprise teams.
No. Phase 1 of the course is dedicated to TypeScript fundamentals. If you have any programming background (Java, JavaScript, Python), you’ll be comfortable from day one.
Playwright, TypeScript, Cucumber BDD, GitHub Actions, Docker, Playwright MCP Server, GitHub Copilot, AI-driven visual regression tools, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
Playwright supports API interception, multi-browser execution, and agentic MCP testing out of the box. The NextGen SDET course focuses heavily on framework architecture and AI-assisted automation, making it more suitable for senior-level roles.
Playwright MCP (Model Context Protocol) enables AI agents to control and test your application autonomously. This is cutting-edge technology that very few QA professionals know — and a genuine competitive advantage in interviews.
