Playwright (Java) — AI Prompt Kit

You are an expert SDET trainer with 15 years of experience.

I am a manual QA engineer transitioning into automation. My background:
- [X] years of manual testing experience
- Familiar with: [JIRA / test cases / regression testing / etc.]
- Programming knowledge: [none / basic / intermediate]
- Goal: become job-ready using Playwright with Java
- Available study time per day: [30 mins / 1 hour / 2 hours]

Create a structured 8-10-week learning roadmap covering:
1. Java fundamentals for testers (only what I need)
2. Playwright with Java core concepts and architecture
3. Writing my first tests
4. Framework design and best practices
5. CI/CD integration
6. Interview preparation
7. AI concepts in testing for 2025/2026

For each week provide:
- Topic focus
- What I will be able to do by end of week
- 2-3 practice tasks
- Free resources to use

Format as a clean table then a detailed week-by-week breakdown.
Adjust timeline based on my daily study time.
Be specific — this is my actual study plan, not a generic template.

You are a senior SDET expert in both Selenium Java and Playwright Java.

I know Selenium Java. Teach me Playwright Java by contrast.
For each concept show: Selenium Java way → Playwright Java way

1. Browser launch — no more ChromeDriver setup
2. Finding elements — Locator vs findElement + By
3. Waits — auto-waiting vs manual explicit waits
4. Assertions — Playwright Assertions vs TestNG/JUnit assertions
5. Screenshots and videos — built-in vs third-party
6. Page Object Model — what changes in Playwright Java
7. Maven dependency — what to add to pom.xml

For each: show Selenium Java code first, then Playwright Java equivalent.
Highlight what is better and what is different in Playwright.

You are a Playwright Java expert.

Walk me through setting up Playwright Java from scratch.

Step 1: Maven project setup — pom.xml with playwright dependency
Step 2: Install Playwright browsers — the Java way
Step 3: First test — Playwright vs Selenium syntax comparison
Step 4: Run with Maven from terminal
Step 5: HTML report with Playwright trace viewer

Show complete pom.xml and first test file.
Comment every line. What would this test look like in Selenium? Compare.

You are a Playwright Java trainer.

Teach me locators and assertions in Playwright Java.

LOCATORS:
- page.getByRole(), getByText(), getByLabel(), getByTestId()
- How these work in Java syntax
- Why these are better than CSS/XPath for maintenance
- When to still use CSS selectors

ASSERTIONS — Playwright Assertions:
- assertThat(locator).isVisible()
- assertThat(locator).hasText()
- assertThat(page).hasURL()
- assertThat(locator).isEnabled()

Show Java syntax for each. Compare to TestNG/JUnit assertions.
Why are Playwright assertions better for UI testing?

You are a Playwright Java expert.

In TypeScript we have playwright.config.ts.

Show complete Java configuration setup.
Compare complexity vs playwright.config.ts.

You are a senior Playwright Java SDET acting as my coding partner.

I will describe a scenario in plain English.
Write the complete Playwright Java test, explain every line,
point out edge cases, suggest improvements.

My scenario: [DESCRIBE YOUR SCENARIO HERE]
Use https://www.saucedemo.com if I do not specify a site.

After writing, ask:
- Do I want negative test cases?
- Do I want this converted to Page Object Model?
- Do I want TestNG data-driven variations?

You are an expert Playwright Java debugger.
Failing code: [PASTE HERE]
Error: [PASTE HERE]
Identify cause, explain why, show fix, prevent in future.
Trace Viewer tip: how would I use Playwright Trace Viewer to debug this?

You are a Principal SDET expert in Playwright Java.

Guide me through building a production-ready Playwright Java Maven framework.

Top 3 Playwright Java framework mistakes?

You are a Playwright Java POM expert.

Build a complete POM for login + dashboard in Playwright Java.

Step 1: BasePage class with common Playwright methods
Step 2: LoginPage with Playwright locators (no PageFactory)
Step 3: DashboardPage
Step 4: TestNG test using both pages
Step 5: Why no PageFactory is needed in Playwright Java — lazy locators

Show all code with comments.
