Modern web applications demand fast, reliable automation testing that integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines. This Short Course was created to help Software Development professionals accomplish comprehensive browser test automation using cutting-edge tools. By completing this course, you'll be able to eliminate flaky tests, implement robust Page Object Models, and configure selective test execution for efficient continuous integration workflows. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Apply Playwright locators, waits, and assertions within a Page Object Model to automate a multi-step user journey (Apply); Analyze Robot Framework keyword suites to parameterize data sets and tagging for selective, CI-friendly execution (Analyze); Evaluate headless test run artifacts (screenshots, traces, logs) to diagnose and remediate flaky browser tests (Evaluate). This course is unique because it combines Playwright's modern browser automation capabilities with Robot Framework's keyword-driven approach for maximum maintainability. To be successful in this project, you should have background in Python programming and basic web development concepts.
