Why Playwright as our e2e testing framework

Supercharge Your E2E Testing with Playwright: Unleash the Power of Parallelism

 

In the fast-paced world of web development, speed and efficiency are paramount. That's where Playwright shines, offering a modern approach to end-to-end (E2E) testing that outpaces traditional single-process solutions.

 

Playwright: The Parallel Testing Advantage

Unlike many E2E testing frameworks that execute tests sequentially in a single process, Playwright harnesses the power of parallel testing. This means you can run multiple tests concurrently, dramatically reducing test execution time and accelerating your development cycles.

 

Why Choose Playwright for Parallel Testing?

  • Lightning-Fast Execution: Run hundreds of tests in parallel, significantly shortening feedback loops and enabling faster deployments.

  • Improved Developer Productivity: Spend less time waiting for tests to complete and more time building amazing features.

  • Efficient Resource Utilization: Maximize hardware resources by running tests across multiple browser instances simultaneously.

  • Enhanced Test Coverage: Parallel testing allows you to cover a wider range of user scenarios and browser configurations in less time.

 

Why Parallel Testing Outperforms Single-Process Software Testing:

 

Reduced Testing Time: Parallel testing allows you to run multiple tests simultaneously across various browsers, operating systems, and devices. This dramatically reduces the overall testing time compared to executing tests one after another in a single process.

 

Here's an example of how fast runs tests with 6 workers open:

Compared to how slow runs tests with just one worker open:
