I'm using Playwright right now, migrating horrendous Selenium tests at work and it's a real breeze of fresh air. It just works, it comes battery included with superb debugging tools (step by step execution directly in the browser, trace dumping for further analysis, reliable interactions recorder with pretty decent code generation ...).

It's an amazing piece of software for a domain that was kept on the side of the road for years.

If you already tried Cypress, then it's Cypress but with true multiple browser support, available in 4 languages, without the bloat and a cleaner and more idiomatic API.




Is it less flaky than Cypress? We're constantly running into Cypress bugs, when we find a workaround for one, two more show up.


In my experience yes. We ran into a Cypress bug that was bad enough that we just switched to Playwright and it works great.
