This is a follow-up to my previous post about switching from Tosca/testing

Previous post: [Previous Post Link]

I currently have ~2 YOE in Tosca/SAP automation in a service-based company and after discussing with experienced folks, I’m planning to move towards Playwright since many people suggested it’s becoming more preferred for modern automation projects.

I also want to stand out from the crowd, so I’m interested in combining Playwright with AI tools/workflows like GitHub Copilot, Playwright MCP, AI-assisted automation, etc.

While exploring Udemy, I found multiple Playwright courses.

Now I’m confused about the best path to start with.

Should I first build strong Playwright fundamentals and then move into AI-assisted automation, or directly start with courses that combine both?

Would really appreciate guidance from experienced Playwright/SDET folks on:

- The right learning path

- What’s actually used in industry today

- Which type of course would be better for long-term growth

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in a service-based company with almost 2 years of experience in automation testing using Tricentis Tosca, mainly on SAP.

I’m planning to switch soon and I’m a bit confused about the right direction.

I’ve been considering moving to Selenium + AI-based test automation (using things like NLP, ML, etc.), mainly because:

- Tosca is low-code/no-code, so I’m missing out on coding skills

- It’s a paid tool, so I feel opportunities in the market are limited

At the same time, since this is my first job and I still have time to upskill, I’m also wondering:

- Should I directly aim for AI-related roles instead of staying in testing?

- Or is it better to combine testing + coding + AI and move into something like an AI-enabled SDET role?

I have a few months to prepare before switching, so I want to make the best decision for long-term growth and better opportunities.

Would really appreciate advice from people who have been in similar situations or are working in these areas. Thanks!
