Playwright

End-to-end testing has a reputation problem. Tests are flaky, slow, and expensive to maintain. Teams start with enthusiasm, writing comprehensive test suites—only to watch them become brittle, unreliable, and eventually ignored.

Playwright changes this equation. Microsoft’s modern testing framework addresses the core pain points that plagued previous generations of browser automation tools. With its architectural improvements, developer-friendly API, and built-in best practices, Playwright makes it possible to build automated test suites that are fast, reliable, and actually maintainable.
