Playwright offers better reliability through auto-wait functionality, faster execution, built-in cross-browser support, and modern architecture. Selenium has larger ecosystem and longer track record but requires more setup and maintenance. Playwright is generally recommended for new projects requiring reliable browser automation.
Yes, Playwright excels with SPAs through its auto-wait functionality that waits for DOM stability and network requests to complete. It handles React, Vue, Angular, and other frameworks well by waiting for JavaScript execution and DOM updates before proceeding with interactions.
Playwright can run tests in parallel across browsers, but this requires more system resources. Execution time typically scales with available CPU cores and memory. Running tests across 3 browsers in parallel might use 3x memory but complete in similar time as single-browser execution.
Excellent. Playwright provides official Docker images, integrates with all major CI platforms, and includes built-in reporters for test results. The headless execution and parallel testing capabilities make it ideal for automated testing pipelines with fast feedback loops.
Yes, the Codegen tool records user interactions and generates test code automatically. While technical knowledge helps for test maintenance and debugging, the recorded tests provide a starting point that can be refined by developers or technical team members.
