Playwright Architecture & Comparison
-
Direct Protocol: Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol / CDP over WebSockets.
-
Engines: Chromium (Chrome, Edge), Firefox (Gecko), WebKit (Safari engine).
-
Auto-Waiting: Automatically checks element actionability before dispatching hardware events.
// Minimal Playwright test in JavaScript:
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";test("visit TargetQA homepage", async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto("https://targetqa.com");
await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/TargetQA/);
});
