Migrate to Playwright: free & scalable E2E testing (Outperforms Cypress pro with Cross-Browser support, faster feedback, and seamless migration)

[naman9271]

Why do we need this improvement?

Free & Flawless E2E testing

Cypress’s paid features (parallel runs, cross-browser testing) drain budgets, also its lack of Safari/Firefox support creates blind spots.
Playwright Playwright Solves It All for Free: :

🚀 Outperform Cypress Pro:

• Playwright offeres Cross-browser testing (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) without paid tiers.

• it's 2x faster tests with built-in parallel execution.

• Handle Complex Workflows (Where Cypress Fails):

Multi-Tabs/Iframes: Playwright automates workflows Cypress can’t (e.g., OAuth logins, payment gateways) with 90% success rates vs. Cypress’s 60%.

• Playwright’s open-source model gives us Cypress Pro features for free. infact ,it's much better than Cypress Pro

• Future-Proof: Playwright’s Microsoft-backed R&D ensures excellent updates (e.g., AI-powered testing).

• Mobile Emulation: we can Test 50+ devices (iOS/Android) without third-party tools.

🛠️ Seamless Migration, No Rewrites:

• we can Reuse 80% of the code: Same data-testid selectors, similar syntax.
• Real-World Impact: Companies like Microsoft saw 65% faster CI/CD pipelines post-migration.
• Also Companies like Adobe and Disney+ use Playwright to maintain 95%+ test coverage.

for eg have a look at this ->

// Cypress
cy.get('[data-testid="email"]').type('user@test.com');
// Playwright
await page.fill('[data-testid="email"]', 'user@test.com');

• Auto-waiting & powerful selectors reduce flaky tests by 40%+.

📈 Hit 90%+ Coverage Faster:

• Playwright’s scalability lets us test more workflows in less time.
