Build Self-Healing Playwright Tests with TypeScript.

Keep your Playwright suite and add TestZombie through one npm package. This guide connects setup, runtime healing, healing history and optional automatic code updates.

Quick Start

Four steps from Playwright to self-healing.

The integration stays intentionally close to your existing test setup.

Install the package

Install the TestZombie Playwright library in your existing project.

npm install @testzombie/playwright

Replace the import

Use test and expect from @testzombie/playwright instead of @playwright/test.

import { test, expect } from '@testzombie/playwright';

Set credentials

API key and account email are provided through your Playwright configuration or environment.

TESTZOMBIE_API_KEY
TESTZOMBIE_EMAIL

Run tests as usual

Existing tests keep running; for suitable locator failures TestZombie adds the healing workflow.

Runtime → Code

Self-healing is the beginning. The fix can stay.

After a successful healing, the replacement locator can be moved into test code so a runtime fallback becomes a maintainable TypeScript fix.

FAQ

TypeScript setup FAQ

Do I have to rewrite my existing Playwright tests?

No. The integration approach replaces the import and extends the existing suite instead of introducing a new test stack.

Which browsers can I keep using?

The Playwright page is designed for Chromium, Firefox and WebKit.

Where is the compact configuration reference?

The /developer/playwright integration page bundles installation and configuration; this page focuses on the broader workflow.
