Playwright Test Runner is a Node.js end-to-end runner that runs JavaScript or TypeScript tests with built-in cross‑browser support, per‑test isolation via fixtures and auto‑waiting, and parallel workers. Project scaffolding comes from npm init playwright. Tests run with npx playwright test, demoing five projects in eight seconds on one machine. Authoring uses codegen and a headed inspector for step debugging; post‑mortem uses trace.zip artifacts viewable on trace.playwright.dev with DOM snapshots network and console logs.
