Test Automation with Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright
summary
Compares three toolchains with specifics not platitudes: Playwright (v1.27) ships built-in parallelization, a code‑gen + inspector and a trace viewer and claims reliable auto-wait; Cypress (v10.11) runs in‑browser with a visual inspector, API testing, component testing nearing GA and the Cypress Studio beta recorder plus a find‑cypress‑specs pipeline optimizer; Selenium (4.5.0) modernizes with a W3C‑compliant API, a new Selenium 4 grid, CDP hooks, relative locators and robust multi‑window support.
