I really like how easy and fast it is to write tests with Playwright. Setting up cross-browser tests is simple, and I don’t have to worry about flaky tests as much and another thing what i love most is auto-waiting feature . It just makes browser testing less of a headache Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Playwright? Sometimes Playwright feels a bit slow when running really large test suites, and figuring out why a test failed isn’t always super straightforward. Other than that, it’s great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Playwright solving and how is that benefiting you? For me Playwright solved the headache of testing websites across different browsers. Before, I spent a lot of time dealing with flaky tests and browser inconsistencies, but now our tests are more reliable and easier to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
