Frameworks

Playwright

Microsoft's open-source framework for automated browser testing across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari with one API.

What is Playwright?

Playwright is Microsoft's open-source framework for automated end-to-end testing of web apps across all major browsers.

It uses one API to control Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, simulating real user interactions like clicks, typing, and navigation. The framework auto-waits for elements to be ready before acting, which cuts down on flaky tests.

Builders use it to test their web apps across browsers without writing separate test suites. It can record your actions and generate test code automatically, run tests in parallel, and capture videos or screenshots when things break.

Free and open-source. Works with JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Java. Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing.
