Playwright Automation Framework with POM | Part 3

🎯 Playwright Automation Framework with POM | Part 3 In this video, we add more tests to our Playwright framework, create a .env file for credentials and configuration, build an Env Helper, and use the environment data inside our tests. 📌 What you’ll learn: ✅ Adding new tests to the framework (reusing page objects and custom fixtures from Part 2) ✅ Structuring and organizing tests ✅ Why hardcoded credentials and URLs are a problem (security risks, difficult maintenance, no environment switching) ✅ What is a .env file and how key-value pairs work (BASE_URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD, ENV) ✅ Installing and configuring dotenv (npm install dotenv, loading it in playwright.config.ts) ✅ Loading different env files per environment (.env.dev, .env.staging, .env.prod using the path option) ✅ Building an Env Helper utility (a single class/file to read and validate environment variables) ✅ Running tests against environments (using ENV=staging npx playwright test, cross-env for Windows) ✅ Running and validating the tests (checking results in the console and HTML report, troubleshooting common dotenv issues) ✅ Folder structure update (adding utils/envHelper.ts and env files at the project root) 🔔 Subscribe for more Playwright & QA automation videos 👍 Like the video if it helped #Playwright #DotEnv #AutomationFramework #PlaywrightTutorial #EnvironmentVariables #PageObjectModel #TestAutomation #QAAutomation #TypeScript #SDET #AutomationTesting #PlaywrightAutomation #SoftwareTesting
