Selenium vs. Playwright: Let the Code Speak
In this corner, we have long-time reigning champ: Selenium WebDriver
And in this corner, we have the newcomer: Playwright
Which of these will take the belt???
If you’re doing any automated testing, surely you’ve heard of Selenium WebDriver, the most popular web automation framework in the market. Well, Microsoft has open-sourced a new automation framework, Playwright, that quite possibly is the most extensive automation framework we’ve seen since WebDriver – boasting multi-language, cross-browser support.
Typical comparisons of automation frameworks feel very academic, highlighting the difference in feature sets.
This webinar takes another approach…a battle of the code! Angie Jones represents Selenium WebDriver, while Andy Knight will represent Playwright.
Round for round, Angie and Andy take coding tasks and implement them in Selenium as well as Playwright, then analyze how each of the frameworks performs to solve real-world testing challenges!
The audience weighs in to judge each round. Listen in and judge for yourself what the code has to say.
