Battle of The Frameworks

The document compares Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright testing frameworks. It discusses their approaches to finding selectors, handling logins, iframes, waits, alerts, navigation, API requests, and the page object pattern. Test run performance data is provided, showing Playwright as the fastest option. Playwright is favored for its speed, growing community, and backing by Microsoft as the creator of the Puppeteer project.
