Abstracts

When talking about browser-based tests, three tools are often mentioned.

• Selenium
• Cypress
• Playwright

When looking for the best tool to get the job done, comparisons often make sweeping statements like "Playwright is faster than Selenium" without giving any insight into how these numbers were determined.
With several years of experience in test automation and enough curiosity about this topic, I wanted to have an answer based on my own data and research.

This talk will briefly introduce the 3 solutions in detail, name pros and cons and give a brief overview of how they work.

Furthermore, the talk will give a definitive answer as to which tool is faster, more reliable and best suited to be integrated into an existing CI framework.

We will show you how we created our setup, the challenges we faced and share our results in detail.
