🚀 Dockerized Test Environment for Automation Framework (Playwright + Mock API + DB)

This repository demonstrates a complete, production-like test environment setup using Docker, designed specifically for automation testing with Playwright.

It simulates a real-world QA ecosystem, including:

UI Automation (Playwright) Mock APIs Database setup Containerized execution using Docker

📌 Why This Project?

In modern QA roles, especially SDET / QA Automation Engineer, it's critical to:

✅ Test in isolated environments ✅ Avoid "works on my machine" issues ✅ Run tests in CI/CD pipelines ✅ Handle dependencies like APIs & DB

👉 This project solves all of that using Dockerized test infrastructure

🧰 Tech Stack 🟢 Playwright – UI Automation Testing 🟡 Node.js – Test execution environment 🔵 Docker & Docker Compose – Container orchestration 🟠 Mock API – Simulated backend services 🟣 Database (DB) – Data validation & test scenarios
