Case Study: Healthcare Test Automation Modernization
Migration from Selenium to Playwright for reliable healthcare workflow automation
Project Overview
The regression suite included 100+ end-to-end workflow tests executed across multiple environments.
Client: Orbita – Healthcare workflow platform
Role: QA Automation Engineer
Ownership: Led migration from Selenium to Playwright and redesigned the automation architecture
I designed and implemented a modern Playwright automation framework, migrating an existing Selenium-based regression suite to improve reliability and maintainability.
The goal was reliable regression testing that teams could trust before releases.
Automation Scope
- Patient creation and registration
- Moving patients through worklists
- Consult scheduling
- Insurance verification
- Email-based interactions
- Patient UI workflows
- Patient Journey monitoring
- Medical Path creation
- CTS control panel operations
- Welcome Center workflows
- Filters and search functionality
Tests validated complete business workflows rather than isolated UI actions.
Technology
- Playwright
- Python
- Pytest
- Page Object Model
- CI pipelines
- Multiple environments
Engineering Approach
The framework became a core part of release validation across environments.
Key principles:
- Stable locator strategies
- Clean Page Object architecture
- Reusable workflow components
- Consistent test structure
- Reliable execution across environments
The focus was automation teams could trust in production.
Results
- Improved test stability
- Reduced flaky tests
- Faster test execution
- Improved maintainability
- Reliable CI execution
- Cross-browser compatibility (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Automation became a stable part of the release process.
