Welcome to the Playwright Interactive Playground! This hands-on environment lets you practice writing end-to-end tests in real-time without setting up a local environment. Run actual Playwright tests against our demo application and see results instantly.
Click the "Test Cases" dropdown to load pre-built example tests. These templates demonstrate common Playwright patterns like:
Edit the test code in the center editor panel. Use Playwright commands like:
✅ Tip: Use data-test attributes for reliable element selection
Click the "▶ Run Test" button to execute your code against the demo application. Watch the test results appear on the right panel in real-time.
The results panel shows pass/fail status, execution time, and detailed logs for debugging.
If your test fails, check the logs for error messages. Common issues:
Test login forms with valid/invalid credentials, error messages, and session persistence.
Validate required fields, email formats, and error state handling in forms.
Test button states, click events, loading states, and confirmation dialogs.
Assert table data, list items, text content, and DOM element attributes.
Test page navigation, URL changes, and breadcrumb functionality.
Test error messages, edge cases, and user feedback mechanisms.
Prefer getByRole(), getByLabel(), getByTestId() over CSS selectors for resilient tests
No need for manual waits. Playwright auto-waits for elements before interacting with them
Always await Playwright commands for proper test execution order
Write tests that simulate real user interactions, not just technical implementations
Each test should be able to run independently without depending on other tests
This playground is designed for learning and practice. For production automation, you'll want to set up Playwright locally with your own test structure and CI/CD pipeline.
Tests have a default 10-second timeout. If an element doesn't appear, the test fails. Try checking your selector is correct or adding explicit waits using await expect() assertions.
Use the browser DevTools (F12) to inspect elements. Look for unique identifiers like data-test, id, or role attributes. Test your locators in Playwright directly.
The playground focuses on UI testing. For API testing, explore using api.request() in your local Playwright setup for direct API interactions.
