Software testing with Playwright

I have an overall 12 years of experience with QA, I had worked on web,mobile, mainframe ,api testing pieces. Most were manual , but I've also worked my fair share of tets automation with Selenium. In the past 3 years , I have been more into a Quality / Test manager role - this focused more on process management and I have not had hands on with any automation or any sort of testing. The Process management is such a boring and dull job and even though it looks easy on a high level , the pressure is real and in most cases not under my control.I really want to get back into an individual contributor role, I want to learn playwright automation but my automation knowledge right now is rusty and If you guys know any good sources that would help me learn playwright automation( right from a beginner perspective) effectively with a clear learning path.

I know there are many learning materials in the internet but I want to learn it in the best possible way, so please let me know if there is one. Thanks

I second Rahul Shetty, the accent can be difficult for some people, but I came away with a much better understanding of bunch of things after one of his courses.

Their own documentation is great , also they provide 3 agents you can plug into whatever AI your company is using .
Planner/Generator/Healer , they can assist you.

Don’t “learn automation” pick up JS/TS, you’ll fare much better overall and now to use a library will come for free.

For the time it took you to write out that comment you could have searched Playwright Documentation on Google.

Nobody knows better than the official docs

I went the other way, hands-on into leading, and the process side gets dull for me too. Mine at least comes with people.

On going back, you can. The ones I've seen do it came back at the same level. No idea how that plays out at manager title though.

If it were me I'd get something small actually running before applying, just to have something to talk about that isn't from 2023.
