Playwright vs Seleniuma

64    Asked by CharlesParr in QA Testing , Asked on Sep 30, 2024

How can I make a more convincing statement or show testament for playwright vs selenium, focusing on benefits of the playwright like integrated waits and the test builder's ability to grab locators? Since Playwright is newer and has less community support, my manager is worried. To allay her worries, I want to emphasize the additional benefits.

Playwright's "newness" isn't totally of a concern because it builds upon Puppeteer, which was created in 2018 by the same Google team. Playwright expands Puppeteer's functionality to work across all browsers and platforms. It was released in 2020, following the team's move to Microsoft. Playwright has a lot of support from Microsoft and is becoming more and more popular. The playwright is rapidly gaining traction, as evidenced by



Puppeteer - 81.7k stars on GitHub
Puppeteer - 4.8 million weekly downloads on npmjs
Playwright - 47.3k stars on GitHub
Playwright - 1.1 million weekly downloads on npmjs

Lastly, I also think that in the battle between the playwright vs Selenium, the playwright will win.
