Playwright vs Selenium: What Advantages Make Playwright the Winner in Automation Testing Battle 🏆

[@ВениславЗдравков]

Great video. I am trying to convince my colleagues, that Selenium is good and does the job, but is old now and there are other options on the market that are better. I am a big fan of Cypress, that I use in my current project. I tried Playwright on a pet project and it is definitely a great tool. Now I am considering that my next first choose where I have this option. for example on a new project would be "Playwright". This is maybe the best comparison, that I have watched on KZbin. You make great videos, big thanks. I am fan of yours already.

Great to hear mate, love your thoughts 🙏

Next time try running over 1000 playwright tests with more than 16 threads on a single job and get back to us!...Selenium can achieve this with no problem without even using Grid!

[@SoldeplataSaketos]

you can run them with `--workers 1` in Playwright "with no problems". Parallelization needs power. Provide 32 CPUs and run playwright 32 times faster than with single threaded Selenium. @@alantest1521

I have been using selenium for a long time. I will give the playwright a quick test and see the results. Thank you for the video

[@gisgndecan0111]

Thank you very much for the insightful overview about Playwright, that I am much in need!

[@Error_042]

I work at a company with 15 people working in QA. We use selenium for about the last 8 years and have build a whole system around it. It would be a massive undertaking to rebuild the whole infrastructure of autotests.

[@alantest1521]

Then dont do it!...if it an't broke then why fix it?

[@abdulRahman-id3ru]

I really appreciate your energy and spirit on delivering such a value to the automation community.. thanks a lot Karthick.. keep rocking !..

[@ExecuteAutomation]

Thanks a ton mate

[@shivakumar-mj8bp]

Thank you so much Karthik for sharing this video. This is really helpful for beginners to understand between PlayWright vs Selenium.

[@charllabuschagne2169]

Very interesting. Thank you for creating this video.

[@bhavaniyalla6728]

Fantastic Video Karthik

[@emmang2010]

Thank you for this video.

[@WedlaMelo]

Karthik, I really wanted another video comparing cypress and playwright, since your last one is two years old, and a lot changed. can we expect for it?

[@ExecuteAutomation]

Sure, it’s already one the topic we are going to discuss quite sooner. Thanks for your comment

[@WedlaMelo]

@@ExecuteAutomation thank you for your attention!! ;-)

[@shubhamsonune2608]

Actually i have worked & learned selenium but not much need to deep dive into it so is it good to jump over playwright or should i take much enough knowledge of selenium first?

[@drino955jug3]

Thank you for the video!

[@Ritikkumar-my7ug]

I was facing one big problem using Cypress and playwright due to lack of knowledge and help. Suppose we have organization website which are secure and requires system and user certificate (organization based certificate) otherwise getting invalid certificate error. And 2nd challenge is with shadow dom and , which are in use at Every step

[@shafiullah3288]

What is the prerequisite for this course plz?

[@AmazingHaze420]

Playwright is so much better! I’m loving it

[@ExecuteAutomation]

Oh yes it is

[@Textras]

Id add cypress and Pupiteer, but sadly CDP and BiDinare not supported on Safari

[@akshayrane3008]

Is playwright capable of backward tracing of DOM elements?

[@debduttachatterjee-ng7os]

Hi Karthik.. Thanks for this great video.. Could you please let me know, all the configuration that we can do in JavaScript external file, How to do the same in C# playwright.

[@krishnakishorepanchagnula9192]

Karthik, i am manual tester and can I directly learn playwright without selenium?

[@ExecuteAutomation]

@@krishnakishorepanchagnula9192 Ofcourse you can mate

[@praveenk2304]

Which language does it support, since it's backed by mircrosoft is it c#? I don't see any where in video discussed abt this?

[@sergtimosh]

Search: playwright dev docs languages currently: with PW test runner, parallelisation, screenshots assertion etc.)- JS/TS w/out PW test-runner- Java, Python, .NET.

[@adhii66]

As a manual tester can I learn Playwright as a beginner. Especially I don't have any knowledge in Selenium automation

[@Amitpatil-g8g]

playwright is recently launched tool . you learn selenium is good.

[@hoagy_ytfc]

This is useful, thank you. What do you think of Cypress?

[@ExecuteAutomation]

Well, new video coming soon 😎

[@ferloting]

The last point may not necessarily be an advantage since it is time consuming to have updated our framework especially when there are breaking changes, but I agree it is an interesting tool

[@Amitpatil-g8g]

i think preference 1)Selenium 2)Cypress 3)Playwright

[@auliard]

By this, your contents is elevate, keep it up khartik !

[@ExecuteAutomation]

Thanks mate 🙏
