From Manual Testing to AI-Assisted Automation with Playwright Agents
Description and use
<p>For years, <a href="https://geekyants.com/en-in/engineering/quality-assurance/qa-automation-testing" rel="noopener noreferrer">automation engineers</a> have followed a familiar rhythm. Requirements come in, test cases are written, scripts are automated, locators break, scripts fail, and debugging begins. Fix, re-run, repeat.</p> <p>This cycle hasn't changed much, even though frameworks have evolved from Selenium to Cypress to modern tools like Playwright.</p> <p>What if your automation framework didn't just execute tests --- what if it planned them, wrote them, ran them, and even fixed them
