Playwright is a Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows developers to write reliable end-to-end tests for web applications across different browsers, including Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Playwright provides a high-level API for interacting with web pages, handling user interactions, and performing various testing actions like clicking, typing, and evaluating page content.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer, Playwright offers cross-browser support, improved reliability, and faster execution speed. It also provides advanced features such as automatic waiting for network requests, parallel test execution, and built-in support for mobile devices.
