Automated end-to- end (E2E) testing is now absolutely necessary for modern online applications to assure dependability, performance, and perfect user experience. React apps provide particular challenges for hand testing including complex state management, asynchronous operations, and UI responsiveness, despite their dynamic and component-based architecture. Playwright a potent E2E testing tool addresses these challenges with robust cross-browser interoperability, headless execution, and parallel testing capabilities. Since it can automate interactions across various browser environments, it is a useful tool for evaluating user workflows, guaranteeing component interoperability, and finding performance bottlenecks. This study explores the relevance of automated testing in React systems with particular regard to how Playwright enhances testing efficacy. We go over three main playwright techniques network interceptions, screenshot comparisons, and API mocking that assist to cover all tests. Emphasizing testing environment, test case development, execution methods, and CI/CD pipeline integration, a case study illustrating the use of Playwright in an actual React-based project is shown. It also addresses typical automation-related issues as well as the solutions meant to raise test dependability and maintainability. Developers and QA teams could receive faster feedback loops, greater test accuracy, and more program dependability confidence building by means of Playwright for E2E testing. This paper leverages Playwright's simplicity of the testing process as a practical handbook for adding it into React projects and shows how helpful it is
