Playwright offers several advantages over tools like Selenium and Cypress. Unlike Selenium, which requires a separate browser driver for each browser, Playwright has built-in support for Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox, enabling cross-browser testing with ease. Compared to Cypress, Playwright supports testing across multiple browsers and has stronger parallel execution capabilities. Playwright is also known for its faster execution times and better handling of modern web apps. While Cypress offers a simpler setup and a great debugging experience, Playwright’s versatility in handling multiple browsers and environments makes it a powerful alternative for comprehensive automation testing.
