Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or WebdriverIO? Let the Engineers Speak!

In our wildly popular Versus – Let the Code Speak webinars, we pitted Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright against each other in head-to-head coding challenges. These matches focused primarily on differences in syntax and features, and spectators in the audience voted for the ones they thought did things best. But what happens when teams actually use these frameworks for the long term? Do the results hold up?

In this session, we ask a panel of engineers who use these frameworks in their day-to-day operations to share why their teams chose Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, and WebdriverIO. We discuss what factors went into their decisions and how their projects are going today.

Key takeaways:

• Explore how other teams build their test automation projects and why they made their design decisions
• Gain insights into the advantages and disadvantages of different web testing tools
• Learn from others and avoid learning some lessons in test automation engineering the hard way
