Why We Are Moving to Playwright

Neon AI Intro: Faster, reliable browser automation with modern testing

Source: Neon Cyber Grid

Selenium's flaky waits cause unreliable tests, slow execution hampers CI/CD pipelines, and cross-browser issues demand constant workarounds. Modern replacements offer the speed, stability, native support, and efficient automation needed—upgrade now!

Selenium → Why Modern Replacement Needed

• Flaky waits cause unreliable, failing tests
• Slow execution drags down CI/CD pipelines
• Cross-browser pains demand endless workarounds
• Crave speed, stability, and native support
• Upgrade now for modern automation!

Playwright is 2-3x faster than Selenium and achieves 100% flake elimination via auto-wait for reliable tests. It supports three browsers out-of-the-box (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) with zero config for parallel runs.

Playwright Benefits (Speed, Auto-Wait, Less Flaky)

• 2-3x: Faster than Selenium

Significant speed improvement

• 100%: Flake Elimination

Auto-wait ensures reliability

• 3: Browsers Out-of-Box

Chromium, Firefox, WebKit

• 0: Config Parallelism

Zero setup for parallel runs

This slide outlines a 1-minute Playwright project setup workflow with four steps and their timings. Steps include: init with npm init playwright@latest (10s), install browsers via npx playwright install (30s), run tests using npx playwright test (10s), and done (total 60s).
