Playwright: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Playwright is a powerful Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows developers to write reliable end-to-end tests for web applications across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, WebKit) with a single API. Playwright provides advanced automation capabilities, including taking screenshots, recording videos, and intercepting network requests. Its architecture enables parallel execution of tests, making it efficient for large test suites.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer and Selenium, Playwright offers better cross-browser support, improved speed, and more robust automation features. It is actively maintained by Microsoft and has gained popularity for its ease of use and comprehensive documentation.
