Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“The most mature AI API with the largest ecosystem. Function calling, JSON mode, and assistants API cover every use case.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Reliability has improved significantly. The ecosystem and tooling around OpenAI's API remain unmatched.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“OpenAI set the standard for AI APIs. The Assistants API and real-time API point toward increasingly capable agent platforms.”
