Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
