Description

Clear and concise description of the problem

As a developer using Vitest, I want to be able to read a Playwright comparison so that I understand which tool to use in which situation.

Suggested solution

Playwright is a fairly new testing and automation framework from Microsoft, developed by the same team that created Puppeteer. It supports various programming languages and testing types such as end-to-end, API, UI component and unit tests all within a single tool and a single API.

TODO: add comparison

  • Uses Vite
  • Similar API to Vitest and Jest
  • Simular feature/tool set as Cypress
  • Fast, executes optionally in a real browser
  • VS Code integration like Jest and Vitest
  • Parallel tests optionally over multiple machines with sharding
  • No smart & instant watch mode yet
  • No out-of-the-box code coverage yet
