Installation (Brief)

One of Playwright’s biggest advantages is its extremely simple installation process.

1. Installation

npm init playwright@latest

This command:

• Installs Playwright
• Downloads Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit
• Creates example test files
• Generates playwright.config.ts
• Sets up the project structure automatically

2. Running Tests

npx playwright test

3. UI Mode (Highly Recommended)

npx playwright test --ui

With UI Mode, you can:

• Visually observe test execution
• Debug step by step
• Inspect locators in real time
• Analyze failures more easily
