Other packages similar to @playwright/test

cypress

Cypress is a popular end-to-end testing framework similar to Playwright. It offers a rich interactive test runner and has a focus on ease of use. Unlike Playwright, Cypress only supports testing in a Chromium-based browser, which can be a limitation for cross-browser testing.

selenium-webdriver

Selenium WebDriver is one of the oldest and most widely used browser automation tools. It supports multiple programming languages and browsers. Compared to Playwright, Selenium tests tend to be slower and can be more flaky due to reliance on the WebDriver protocol.

puppeteer

Puppeteer is a Node library developed by the Chrome DevTools team. It provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Playwright is considered a successor to Puppeteer and extends its capabilities by supporting more browsers and additional features.

nightwatch

Nightwatch.js is an automated testing framework for web applications and websites, using the W3C WebDriver API. It is easy to use and set up. Compared to Playwright, Nightwatch may have less advanced features and browser support but is still a solid choice for many testing scenarios.

testcafe

TestCafe is a node.js tool for automating end-to-end web testing. It is known for its ease of setup and use, and it does not require WebDriver. Unlike Playwright, TestCafe runs tests written in JavaScript or TypeScript directly in the browser which can be both an advantage and a limitation depending on the context.
