ABOUT THIS COURSE
Tired of scattered API tests that can't scale with your microservices? Frustrated with tools that work in isolation but fall apart in CI/CD pipelines? Discover how Playwright transcends traditional API testing limitations with this comprehensive, practice-driven course.
Join the growing numbers of QA engineers and developers who've abandoned tools based API testing approaches for Playwright's unified testing ecosystem.
Why does API Testing with Playwright Change Everything?
Most API testing courses focus on making basic requests and validating responses. We address the complex challenges of modern API landscapes:
Designed by API specialists who've built testing frameworks for multi-tiered applications with hundreds of endpoints. Learn from engineers who've implemented Playwright for complete API coverage at companies like Glencore and Nisa Investments.
Real API Testing Challenges You'll Solve:
- Implement stateful API workflows that maintain complex authentication contexts
- Create contract testing suites that catch breaking changes before they reach consumers
- Build parallel testing strategies that reduce execution time by 80%
- Master response payload validation beyond simple assertions
- Develop hybrid API/UI tests that validate your entire service stack in a single framework

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for QA engineers, developers, and API testers who work with complex service architectures. It's ideal for professionals who want to move beyond basic request/response testing to implement comprehensive API testing strategies. Basic JavaScript knowledge is required.
Do I need Playwright experience?
No prior Playwright experience is necessary. While many students have used tools like Postman or REST Assured, we start from first principles with Playwright's API testing capabilities. We cover everything from installation to advanced patterns.
How is this different from free tutorials?
Free tutorials show you how to make API calls with Playwright. This course teaches you how to build complete API testing frameworks that scale. We focus on real challenges like maintaining test data, handling complex authentication flows, contract validation, and CI/CD integration – topics rarely covered in tutorials.
Will this help me test GraphQL APIs?
Absolutely. We include dedicated modules on testing GraphQL endpoints, handling queries and mutations, and validating complex response structures. Playwright excels at testing GraphQL services.
What if my company uses a different API testing tool?
Many of our students have transitioned their companies from tools like Postman, SoapUI, or custom frameworks to Playwright. We cover migration strategies and demonstrate the ROI of unified API and UI testing. The concepts you'll learn apply broadly, even if you continue using other tools.
Can I test microservices architectures?
This is a key focus of our course. You'll learn techniques for testing service dependencies, validating cross-service workflows, and implementing consumer-driven contract testing for microservices ecosystems.
What support is provided after the course?
Graduates gain lifetime access to our API testing community where instructors regularly answer questions. You'll also receive any course updates as Playwright evolves its API testing capabilities.
