Eliminating Flaky E2E Tests with Playwright and Containerized CI/CD

Modern applications need reliable end-to-end testing, but many teams still struggle with flaky tests and environment inconsistencies across development and CI/CD pipelines.

In this article, I walk through a practical setup using Playwright and Docker to create a reproducible, scalable, and reliable E2E testing workflow. You'll learn how to:

✅ Containerize your application and Playwright test suite
✅ Run multi-browser tests consistently across environments
✅ Use Docker Compose for orchestration
✅ Integrate automated testing into GitHub Actions
✅ Capture reports, traces, screenshots, and debugging artifacts
✅ Reduce CI failures caused by environment differences

By combining Playwright's modern automation capabilities with Docker's consistency, teams can build faster feedback loops and ship with greater confidence.
