FAQ
What is Playwright?
Playwright is a tool that allows computers to control web browsers, similar to how a person uses a mouse and keyboard.
What are 'locators'?
Locators are like unique addresses for each button, text field, or other element on a web page, so the tool knows exactly which one to interact with.
What are 'test cases'?
Test cases are like scripts to check if a website is working correctly. They describe the steps to follow and what is expected to happen.
