What you will learn
- getByRole locators match what users see and survive refactors.
- Web-first assertions wait and retry automatically.
- Traces show every step, DOM snapshot and network call of a failure.
Flaky tests are a design problem
End-to-end suites earn a bad reputation when tests fail randomly. Almost always the cause is the test, not the tool: fixed sleeps, brittle CSS selectors, or assertions that check once instead of waiting for the UI to settle.
Playwright is built around avoiding those mistakes, if you use its intended APIs.
