Key Topics Covered

Introduction to Basic Actions with Playwright: The video begins by introducing the basic actions that can be performed with Playwright, focusing on interaction with input fields, handling key presses, clearing input values, and retrieving attribute values.

Interacting with Input Fields: The tutorial demonstrates how to interact with different types of input fields using Playwright, including the use of type and fill methods to input text into fields.

Difference Between type and fill: The video explains the difference between the type and fill methods. type simulates typing each character individually, triggering any associated input event listeners, whereas fill sets the value all at once, not necessarily triggering those events.

Key Presses and Clearing Input Fields: Viewers learn how to simulate key presses and clear the value of existing input fields, further demonstrating the flexibility of Playwright in mimicking user actions.

Retrieving Attribute Values: The tutorial covers how to get attribute values from elements, which can be useful for assertions or conditional logic in tests.

Assertions in Playwright: The importance of assertions in testing is highlighted, with examples showing how to assert the text content of elements to verify the correct behavior of the web application.

Handling Checkboxes: The video concludes with a segment on handling checkboxes, including checking, unchecking, and verifying their state. It discusses the check function specifically designed for checkboxes and when to use click versus check.
