Cypress vs. Playwright: The best E2E testing frameworks go head-to-head (CodeMash 2023)

Back when writing E2E tests with a framework like Protractor was still a thing, Cypress came along and changed the game. Cypress testing UX is best-in-class with its powerful replay and debugging capabilities. Just when you thought another framework could not possibly challenge Cypress, along came Playwright, crushing right through the limitations of Cypress. Playwright is cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-everything at its core. Yet, there is no clear winner.
In this session, we’ll discuss the benefits and tradeoffs of both frameworks. We’ll look at the code and execute tests side-by-side. And we’ll review a case study of two IT projects within the same company who arrived at different decisions-one Cypress, the other Playwright. You be the judge. Which E2E testing framework is the better choice for your team or company? Cypress or Playwright? At the end of this session, you’ll be able to confidently get started writing tests with both frameworks. You’ll leave armed with the information and research you need to make a strong recommendation to your team.
