Playwright is mainly used for reliable browser automation across end-to-end testing, scripting, and AI-agent workflows. The website describes it as one API for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, giving teams a consistent way to test and automate modern web applications.

Playwright includes Trace Viewer, which provides a full timeline of test execution. The website says traces include DOM snapshots, network requests, console logs, and screenshots at every step, which makes CI failures easier to inspect.
The website describes Playwright as enabling browser automation for testing, scripting, and AI agents. Playwright MCP gives agents browser control through structured accessibility snapshots, including deterministic actions that do not depend only on screenshots.
