What is Playwright Testing?

Playwright is a Node.Js library that automates browsers using the same API for all three (Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit). As a result, Playwright enables cross-browser automation that is evergreen, capable, reliable, and fast. Playwright can also access the REST API of your application to help you perform API testing.

How can I speed up my Playwright test?

You can leverage the LambdaTest cloud to accelerate your Playwright test execution. LambdaTest allows you to run Playwright tests in parallel over a cloud based infrastructure that lets you expand test and browser coverage, ultimately speeding up the release cycle.

Is Selenium better than Playwright?

It depends on your project. Playwright is a NodeJS-based Web application testing framework with headless architecture. Playwright is preferred for efficient headless testing of web applications or websites. Selenium is a web-UI testing library used for testing web applications by automating browser interactions. Selenium offers you a wider test coverage as it supports every major browser, also Selenium is compatible across major programming languages and is not just restricted to JavaScript, like Playwright.
