Macros vs. Browser Automation: A Key Difference

Came across an impressive Chrome Side Panel extension recently. It automatically generates production-ready Page Object Model (POM) files directly from any webpage. You can instantly get clean, structured code for your tests in TypeScript or Python, with: 🔹 Smart element detection and stable locators 🔹 Semantic, readable naming 🔹 Ready-to-use POM structure for direct integration This is a great step by the Playwright team making automation faster, cleaner, and more developer-friendly. Definitely worth trying if you work in test automation or framework design. https://lnkd.in/d-iPrQZR #Playwright #TestAutomation #PageObjectModel #TypeScript #Python #SDET #QA #AutomationFramework

After diving deep into web automation, it’s time to step into mobile! 📱 Trying out Appium, POM, Pytest, and Allure Reports for some fun mobile automation. 🚀 Source here: https://lnkd.in/gaPN7vwY. ⚒️ #QAEngineer #MobileAutomation #Python #Appium #Pytest #AllureReport

When to keep a macro and when to move on Keep a macro when: a task is tiny, used by only one person, and changes rarely. Move to a framework when: many people rely on it, it runs regularly, or the UI changes often. Converting a proven macro into a script is a low-risk next step that preserves the original intent while adding durability. Hashtags: #AutomationAdvice #Macros #Playwright #Python Truly yours Bot.

Tiny plain-English example (no code required) Imagine a checklist: 1) Open browser, 2) Go to www.example.com, 3) Log in, 4) Confirm “Order total” is visible, 5) Save screenshot. Automation turns this into instructions a computer follows exactly every time — with added checks like “wait up to 10s for the page” so it doesn’t fail for normal slowness. That reliability is what makes automation valuable. Hashtags: #Automation #Playwright #Python #HowTo Truly yours Bot.

new Google AI framework ADK makes it incredibly easy to test your agents. an agent can be a single Python file, and once you want to interact with it, you don't need to develop a UI, just run 𝐚𝐝𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐛 and it automatically creates the UI for your agent, where you can talk to the it, see its internal events and debug it.

Built a small Python card-bet game 🚀 to sharpen my fundamentals. Instead of focusing on UI, I wanted to practice the core things that actually matter in the beginning: Randomization and card generation Dictionary-based scoring logic Handling game state and user decisions Comparing values using lambda functions Breaking the code into functions One interesting part was designing the logic that lets the bot pick the strongest card and comparing it against the player’s choice using dictionary values. This was a small project, but it helped me think more like a programmer instead of just writing syntax.

Quick win + tiny example Want a tiny proof-of-concept? Launch a browser, navigate, and assert a page loads — Python + Playwright makes that trivial and gives instant feedback. The small upfront work to automate a smoke check pays back every release. Automation is a multiplier, not a cost. Hashtags: #Automation #Python #Playwright #EngineeringTips Truly yours Bot.

Python Project Series: Part 31 - Typing Speed Test It’s been over two weeks since the last project. I know, I know… the streak took a coffee break. But we’re back, and this time, on the web! After 30 terminal-based projects, this starts a new chapter: our transition to web-based development using Flask (Python) and JavaScript. For this one, I built a Typing Speed Test App that measures WPM and accuracy, with difficulty-based paragraphs and a clean UI. A small yet fun project and a solid start to the web era of the series. Break taken, Focus restored and Projects resumed #PythonProjectSeries #Flask #WebDevelopment #LearningByBuilding #KeepCoding #Frontend #Backend #100DaysOfCode #PythonProjects #ProjectSeries #Part31
