Build your first end-to-end test with Playwright

A first Playwright test in Visual Studio Code

This Microsoft Learn module walks through running Playwright against a sample web application. It covers how to run tests, read the reports they produce, and understand how a Playwright project is laid out.

Covered in the module

• What Playwright is and how a test specification is structured.
• Getting started, then taking apart an existing Playwright test.
• Running, debugging and recording tests inside Visual Studio Code.

Who it suits

The module is aimed at beginners and takes about 1 hour 4 minutes to finish, so it fits into one session. Learners see a sample application under test, which keeps the examples concrete from the first lesson. Its focus is the editor workflow, which makes it a practical companion to a first hands-on project of your own.
