Awesome Modern Web Testing with Playwright
summary
Builds a Python test automation project from scratch that automates a DuckDuckGo search using Playwright and pytest, showing installation (pip install playwright pytest pytest-playwright and playwright install), page objects for search and results, and web‑first assertions via expect. Demonstrates Playwright features like automatic waiting, isolated browser contexts, network interception, running Chromium/Firefox/WebKit and running tests in parallel, plus saving screenshots and capture videos of failures.
