Overview

Learn how to implement the Page Object Model in Playwright through this step-by-step tutorial video. Create a new Node.js project, set up Playwright, and develop a demo login test using the Test Generator. Run tests, analyze results, and organize your project by creating page objects. Implement element locators and action methods for the login page, then refactor your test to use the new Page Object Model structure. Finally, execute the refactored test and upload the project to GitHub. Follow along to master this essential design pattern for more maintainable and scalable automated tests with Playwright.
