Struggling with Playwright tests that pass locally but fail in CI?

You are not alone.

Flaky tests are the #1 reason automation suites fail in real companies. This book is your complete practical guide to debugging and stabilizing Playwright tests used in production environments.

This is not a theory book.
This is a real-world, hands-on guide focused on the skills companies actually hire for.

In this book you will learn:

• What flaky tests really are and why they happen
• The 5 real causes of unstable automation tests
• How to use Playwright UI Mode, Headed Mode and PWDEBUG
• How to use Trace Viewer — the most powerful debugging tool in Playwright
• How to capture screenshots, videos and logs in CI pipelines
• The correct waiting strategies that eliminate timing issues
• How to handle network delays, loaders and dynamic UI
• How to prevent test data conflicts in parallel execution
• How to configure retries, timeouts and stability settings
• How to debug failures in GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines
• How companies detect and fix flaky tests at scale
• Real Playwright interview questions and answers

If you are:
• A Selenium tester moving to Playwright
• A QA engineer struggling with CI failures
• A developer writing end-to-end tests
• Preparing for Playwright automation interviews

Then this book will give you a strong real-world advantage.

Stop guessing why tests fail.
Start debugging like a professional.

Become the automation engineer every team needs.
