Playwright is an open-source automation testing framework developed by Microsoft that enables fast and reliable automation of modern web applications using JavaScript and TypeScript. It supports automation across multiple browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) and platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Docker, CI/CD pipelines) without complex setup.
Playwright allows zero-flaky testing using features like auto-waiting, network mocking, data-driven testing, headless execution, and cross-browser testing. It supports Web UI, API, Mobile View automation, parallel execution, and visual testing within a single framework.
With Playwright, testers can build robust automation frameworks, execute end-to-end tests, and integrate with DevOps tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, making it ideal for modern Automation Engineers and SDETs.
