At EnableEdge, our mission is to bring structure, speed, and stability to the world of QA automation. In line with this, we’ve built and open-sourced a robust, enterprise-ready Playwright + TypeScript framework, grounded in Microsoft’s Playwright MCP (Microsoft Common Project) architecture.

If you’re a QA leader, automation engineer, or DevOps stakeholder looking to modernize your UI testing approach — this is built for you.

🎯 Why Playwright MCP?

Traditional test automation projects often grow haphazardly. Over time, teams struggle with:

  • Poor project organization
  • Difficult test maintenance
  • Lack of reusability and scalability

To solve this, we built our framework using Playwright MCP, a structured, opinionated project layout recommended by Microsoft. This architecture enforces:

  • Clear separation of test layers
  • Easy onboarding for new team members
  • Better scalability across features and modules

🧱 Key Features of the EnableEdge Playwright Framework

  • Adopts Microsoft’s Modular Monorepo Architecture
  • Ensures long-term test maintainability and scalability
  • Encourages reusable components and modular test flow design

💻 Developed in TypeScript

  • Strong typing and autocomplete support
  • Better code quality and maintainability
  • Supports modern JS/TS tooling for faster development

🧪 Test Design Using Page Object Model (POM)

  • Abstracts UI logic cleanly
  • Promotes reusability and DRY code
  • Easy to extend as your application grows

🔒 Secure Auth Flow Support

  • UI and token-based login options
  • Supports testing of authenticated flows post-login

📈 CI/CD Integration with GitHub Actions
