Playwright Test Automation (Python)

End-to-end UI test automation project built with Playwright (Python) and pytest.
The project demonstrates stable UI testing, modern Playwright patterns, and CI integration.

Tech stack

• Playwright (Python)
• pytest
• GitHub Actions (CI)
• Chromium (headless)

What is covered

• Page Object Model (lightweight, Playwright-style)
• Stable assertions with built-in auto-waits
• Authentication via storage state (no repeated login)
• Screenshots, videos, and traces on test failure
• CI pipeline running tests on every push and pull request

Project structure

Run tests locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m playwright install
pytest

CI

Tests are executed automatically using GitHub Actions on every push and pull request. On failure, Playwright artifacts (trace, screenshot, video) are available for debugging.

Test suites

• Smoke tests: tests/ui/test_smoke.py
• Inventory tests: tests/ui/test_inventory.py
• Auth setup (storage state): tests/auth/test_auth_setup.py

Run all tests

pytest

Run only smoke tests

pytest -q tests/ui/test_smoke.py

Run only inventory tests

pytest -q tests/ui/test_inventory.py

Storage state (authenticated session)

This project uses Playwright storage state to avoid logging in for every test.

Regenerate storage state

pytest -q tests/auth/test_auth_setup.py

The file is saved to:

artifacts/storage_state.json
