Playwright is an open-source testing framework designed for modern web applications. It allows developers to write tests that run on any browser, on any platform, and supports multiple programming languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, and .NET. With an emphasis on reliability and speed, Playwright offers features such as auto-waiting and web-first assertions, which significantly reduce the chances of flaky tests that often plague automated testing.
Playwright supports testing on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and can run tests both locally and on continuous integration (CI) systems. It also provides native mobile emulation for Android and iOS browsers, ensuring that web apps can be tested in environments that closely resemble the end-user experience.
