Playwright, developed by Microsoft, is a powerful cross-browser and cross-platform browser automation framework. It supports multiple languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, and .NET. Initially released in January 2020, Playwright has evolved to offer robust testing capabilities, including support for CI/CD systems, network interception, and device emulation. It provides an intuitive API for interacting with all modern browsers. Playwright's capabilities are further extended by Playwright Test, which offers tools for efficient test management.
