Orchestrating AI-Native Testing with Playwright - C2
Achieve production-grade tests with the rules, skills and a carefully orchestrated framework
AI can generate tests faster. But without the right architecture, those tests quickly become brittle, inconsistent, and difficult to maintain.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to structure Playwright test systems so AI can contribute reliably and at scale.
We’ll introduce the orchestration pattern, a practical architecture that allows AI to work within structured boundaries using reusable skills, strong system design, and maintainable testing standards.
Instead of treating AI as a novelty, this workshop shows how to turn it into a real engineering collaborator inside your testing workflow. Through architecture walkthroughs and live demos, you'll learn how to build a Playwright foundation that supports AI-assisted testing across API testing, page objects, fixtures, selectors, and more.
Be advised that as part of the VIP Pass, instructor Ivan is sharing exclusive access to the highly acclaimed Scaffold Repo, which gives Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot the exact, file-scoped context they need to write production-grade automation on the first try. QA teams can skip the 40+ hours of setup and eliminate hallucinated selectors, loose schemas, and brittle waits with this ready-made framework.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is ideal for:
• Test automation engineers using or evaluating Playwright
• QA engineers modernizing their automation architecture
• Developers responsible for end-to-end tests
• SDETs and platform engineers building reusable testing systems
• Engineering teams exploring how AI fits into testing workflows
It is especially valuable for teams that want to combine AI speed with strong engineering discipline.
What You'll Learn
By the end of this workshop, you will understand how to:
• Design a Playwright architecture that works with AI
• Implement the orchestration pattern for AI-native testing
• Structure fixtures and dependency injection for scalable automation
• Build maintainable page objects and selector systems
• Manage test data and configuration effectively
• Combine API testing and browser testing in one architecture
• Use AI to generate maintainable tests instead of fragile scripts
You’ll walk away with a clear system design and reusable mental model for building AI-assisted testing workflows.
Why This Workshop Matters
Most AI testing tools promise faster test generation.
But speed alone doesn't solve the real problem.
Without strong architecture, AI-generated tests often lead to:
• brittle test suites
• inconsistent code structures
• difficult maintenance
This workshop focuses on the missing layer: system design for AI-assisted testing.
You'll learn how to build Playwright systems where AI works within clear architectural boundaries, making your automation faster, scalable, and production-ready.
What You'll Get
✔ A clear introduction to the orchestration pattern for AI-native testing
✔ A practical architecture for scalable Playwright test suites
✔ Patterns for fixtures, dependency injection, and reusable test structure
✔ Best practices for page objects, selectors, and browser automation
✔ Practical strategies for API testing and type safety
✔ Guidance on test data, configuration, enums, and helpers
✔ Live demos showing architecture in action
✔ A reusable mental model for building reliable AI-native test systems
✔ Full workshop recording
✔ Certificate of Completion
