Test Automation with Playwright

Playwright is a tool for testing web pages and automating web browsers. It is a Node.js library that allows you to write scripts to automate interactions with websites. You can use Playwright to write automated tests for your web applications, scrape web pages for data, or automate repetitive tasks on the web. 

1. Playwright enables end to end testing for modern web apps. 

2. Playwright supports all modern rendering engines including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. 

3. Supports cross platform testing 

4. Playwright can be used with multiple languages such TypeScript, JavaScript, .Net and Java 

5. Playwright also supports Mobile Web Testing 

6. Playwright comes with auto wait capabilities so goodbye to tests failing due to wait issues

8. Save the authentication state of the context and reuse it in all the tests. This bypasses repetitive log-in operations in each test, yet delivers full isolation of independent tests.
