Playwright in 1/2 hour. Or less.
summary
Demo tests automate a local registration app with three text boxes, checkboxes and a thank‑you page and run headless by default. Playwright for Python integrates with pytest using a Sync API with page fixture, avoids Selenium’s stale‑element traps by locating elements at use time with built‑in timeouts, and exposes HTTP via playwright.request.new_context so UI tests can assert backend state. It includes a code generator produces runnable but noisy code that needs refactoring.
