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 by automating interactions with web pages in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers. Playwright provides a simple and intuitive API for performing actions like clicking, typing, and navigating across different browser contexts.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer, Playwright offers cross-browser support, improved speed, and more advanced features such as automatic waiting for network idle and element visibility. Playwright is actively maintained by Microsoft and is recommended for modern web testing scenarios.
