Playwright is an open-source framework developed by Microsoft that provides a high-level API for web testing and automation. It aims to overcome the limitations of Selenium and Puppeteer by offering a reliable and fast API. With Playwright, developers can write end-to-end test scripts that run smoothly on popular web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Not only does it support JavaScript and TypeScript, but it's also available for Python, Java, and .NET. Playwright is a cross-platform and cross-browser framework that allows developers to control browsers for automated tasks such as functional testing, API testing, web scraping, and bot automation. In this article, Antonello Zanini introduces Playwright for Node.js and provides a step-by-step guide on setting up a Playwright project and writing your first test.
