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

​The regression suite covered major patient workflows across the platform:

  • 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.

Automation was designed as a maintainable engineering system.

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.
