Playwright Reviews & Insights

We use Playwright to automate our LMS's critical path. It is a complex software with many possible edge cases, it takes 2 testers 3 full days to fully smoke the app (not regression). With Playwright we automated the critical path, we integrated it into our CI/CD, and now it's constantly running and detecting errors and bugs before they even reach to QA.

Playwright is works pretty well for automating the critical user paths of any web application, ensuring that core functionalities are constantly tested and catching issues before they reach QA, particularly through its seamless integration into our CI/CD (in our case, using GithHub); however, it is less appropriate for mobile testing since it doesn't support mobile applications. Testers still needs to learn another framework to do this.

We have used it in various use cases for validating our API and UI. Login UI test case. Various features in the API are being tested using Playwright. Also, AI chatbots are tested using Playwright.
