What you can do with Playwright
Write tests in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java or .NET, with a test runner, assertions and parallel runs built in.
Run Chromium, WebKit and Firefox on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Run the suite from CI.
Debug failures step by step in the Trace Viewer.
Playwright is open source and maintained by Microsoft.
What you can do with DoesQA
Also in DoesQA: build cross-browser web tests on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, run them in parallel on hosted browsers, start Runs from CI, and read every Result step by step with screenshots and video.
Faster maintenance
Shared Elements and Step Groups hold the parts every journey uses. Fix a login step once and every Flow that uses it updates. Maintenance is at least 400% faster than coded frameworks for the same journeys.
Flows your whole team reads
Product owners, testers and developers read the same Flow on the canvas in Flow Builder, or as plain steps in Scenario editor. Coverage is no longer locked in a second repo.
