Random CI failures, waitForTimeout everywhere, tests that pass on the second run. Almost all of it comes from waiting the wrong way. Learn how Playwright actually waits, and write tests your team can trust.
Each one has a specific fix, and none of them is "add another sleep".
CI machines are slower, so fixed delays that "worked" on your laptop run out. Web-first assertions wait for the actual state instead of a guess.
waitForTimeout everywhereEvery hard-coded pause makes the suite slower and still fails on a bad day. The fix is waiting for the URL, the response or the element you need.
Retries hide timing bugs instead of fixing them. The Trace Viewer shows exactly which step raced ahead of the app.
Start with the course. When you've finished, use the practice tests to find any gaps before an interview or a code review.
Build a Playwright framework in JavaScript that doesn't flake, from the first test to CI.
Exam-style questions that show which topics stuck.
The course shows you how to use Claude AI with the Playwright MCP Server to find timing bugs and rewrite them with the right wait.
"This checkout test fails about one run in five in CI. Open the page, watch the network, and replace the hard-coded waits with waits on the real events."
const orderSaved = page.waitForResponse( (r) => r.url().includes('/api/orders') && r.ok()); await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Place order' }).click(); await orderSaved; await page.waitForURL('**/confirmation'); await expect(page.getByRole('heading')) .toHaveText('Thank you!');

Asim builds Playwright frameworks for production applications and has spent a lot of time turning flaky suites into reliable ones. The course is built from that work: real flows, real failures and how to fix them.
Connect on LinkedInMost flaky Playwright tests come from timing: fixed waits like waitForTimeout, assertions that don't retry, waiting for networkidle on pages that never go quiet, or clicking before the app is ready. Replacing them with web-first assertions and targeted waits such as waitForURL and waitForResponse removes most of the flakiness.
The course teaches the patterns you apply to your own suite: locators that survive UI changes, web-first assertions, the right wait for each situation, and debugging with the Trace Viewer. You then refactor your tests with those patterns, with Claude AI helping you.
Basic JavaScript helps but isn't required. The course teaches Playwright in JavaScript from the first test, and Claude AI explains and writes code alongside you.
They are a separate Udemy course of exam-style Playwright questions, each with an explanation, covering waits, locators, fixtures, configuration and more. They show which topics you know and which need work, before an interview or a code review.
