Reviewer scorecard
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
