Introduction

This project is a ready-to-use Playwright automation template for web application testing. It follows best practices for structure, maintainability, and scalability, making it easy to extend for any web project.

Features

- **TypeScript Support**: Ensures type safety and modern JS features.

- **Page Object Model (POM)**: All page interactions are encapsulated in the `pages/` folder for reusability.

- **Environment Management**: Easily switch between environments using the `env/` and `fixtures/` folders.

- **Authentication Handling**: Auth state is saved and reused for efficient test runs.

- **Parallel & Cross-browser Testing**: Configured for Chromium, with easy extension for other browsers.

- **Reporting**: Generates rich HTML reports for test runs.
