Play It Right With Playwright
summary
Playwright replaces a brittle Selenium suite with concrete wins: migrated 80% of Selenium in <1 month, tests run <5 minutes (down from ~20), automatic screenshots, traces and videos attached to failures, and built‑in test isolation so contexts don’t leak. The demo shows auto‑recording, using setInputFiles to handle React DropZone, avoiding thread sleeps, and capturing a reproducible trace per test. The repo-level result is faster, more deterministic end‑to‑end runs.
