Playwright: Revolutionizing Cross-Browser Compatibility
summary
Demonstrates running the same OrangeHRM login/logout script across Playwright, Cypress and Selenium and claims Playwright simplifies cross‑browser runs with a single command npx playwright test. Playwright executes the demo across 7 browsers (Chromium/Chrome, Firefox, Edge, WebKit, mobile Chrome/Safari) using 4 workers, with two tests failing and the rest passing. Cypress requires explicit --browser flags and lacks Safari support; Selenium needs manual driver switching and local browser installs.
