Next-Gen QA: How intelligent agents transform playwright automation
Speaker
Target audience
Intermediate (basic understanding of the topic)
Description
Test automation is evolving from script-heavy frameworks to adaptive, intelligent systems. In this session, we explore how Playwright can be combined with AI-driven agents—Planner, Generator, and Healer—to create more resilient and maintainable test automation.
You will see how these agents can support key testing activities, from interpreting requirements and generating test cases to identifying failures and adapting to UI changes. Instead of focusing on eliminating manual effort entirely, the session highlights how intelligent assistance can reduce repetitive work and improve test stability.
We will also look at how Playwright’s capabilities—such as cross-browser support, auto-waiting, and strong selectors—provide a solid foundation for building such systems. Through practical examples, attendees will gain an understanding of how to design automation that scales with application complexity while remaining maintainable over time.
