Hello all,
I am mahesh career changer from chef to IT !
I'm new to programming and currently working in test automation. At my job, I'm using Playwright for UI testing, and I want to learn TypeScript/JavaScript properly to understand the framework better and improve my automation skills.
Right now, I feel like I know enough to get scripts running, but I want to go deeper—writing clean test code, handling async operations effectively, and understanding best practices for working with Playwright.
One of the biggest challenges I face is debugging. Sometimes tests fail due to timing issues, flaky selectors, or unexpected behaviors, and I want to improve my debugging skills. I also want to strengthen my fundamental programming concepts in TypeScript, such as:
- Variables & Data Types (understanding type safety)
- Functions & Async/Await (handling asynchronous operations efficiently)
- Object-oriented programming (using classes and interfaces in test automation)
- Best debugging techniques (breakpoints, logging, step-by-step execution in VS Code)
So, I’d love to hear from you:
- What are the best learning resources for TypeScript and JavaScript, especially for test automation?
- Any Playwright-specific tutorials that helped you master the framework?
- Best debugging techniques and tools for working with Playwright scripts?
- How did you bridge the gap between using Playwright at work and actually understanding the framework in-depth?
Thanks in advance for your insights! Looking forward to learning from this community. 🚀
