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.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
“Vendor lock-in concerns. Hard to migrate once you're committed.”
