Overall Satisfaction with Playwright

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
  • 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
I find Playwright very intuitive and generally do not have any trouble using it on a daily basis. However, I do have coworkers with more limited experience in software who have struggled immensely in learning to use Playwright properly. Playwright is very well documented which helps if you plan to use AI to help you write any test automation (which I generally don't recommend, but is an option).

Do you think Playwright delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Playwright live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Playwright go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Playwright again?

Yes

Playwright is very well suited for any kind of frontend QA regression testing. It's perfect for ensuring that important features that are not often updated remain fully functional across updates or releases. It is not well suited for testing a feature that requires more developer updates before it is ready for end users. Playwright tests are not always simple to maintain if frequent updates are required to keep them relevant.

Playwright can be used for API or database assertions as well, but it's not necessarily best suited for those scenarios. It does perform well enough to consider that use case for simplicity if Playwright is already relevant for any frontend QA regression tests that are needed.
