Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Playwright as one of our core validation processes on the QA team. We use it to automate various user flows in our application and perform regression testing. It is also integrated with our CI/CD pipelines, to be run between deployments to different environments and ensure that existing functionality is not compromised by new features.

Pros

  • UI Regression Testing
  • QA Automation
  • CI/CD Integration
  • Test Result Report configuration
  • Reliable test framework

Cons

  • More built-in load testing options could be nice
  • More "manager friendly" reporting options
  • Easier ways to run tests from multiple specific files

Return on Investment

  • Playwright has significantly sped up feature releases due to quick regression abilities
  • Playwright has helped stakeholders grow their confidence in our feature release strategy
  • Running regression testing with Playwright opens up lots more time for other QA tasks, as the tests are autonomous

We use Playwright to automate our LMS's critical path. It is a complex software with many possible edge cases, it takes 2 testers 3 full days to fully smoke the app (not regression). With Playwright we automated the critical path, we integrated it into our CI/CD, and now it's constantly running and detecting errors and bugs before they even reach to QA.

Pros

  • automation
  • integrations
  • support
  • community
  • features
  • easy to use
  • documentation
