Reviewer scorecard
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
