Migrating From Selenium to Playwright for a New Era of Automation

For over a decade, Selenium has been the cornerstone of web automation testing. It helped teams verify complex user flows, validate UI consistency, and ensure smooth cross-browser functionality. However, as web applications have become more dynamic, the demands on test frameworks have evolved. Modern apps are built on asynchronous operations, API interactions, and frequent releases — all of which demand speed, reliability, and smarter automation capabilities.

This is where Playwright, an open-source automation framework developed by Microsoft, enters the scene. Playwright reimagines browser testing with a faster, more reliable architecture and built-in tools that reduce test maintenance overhead. Many organizations are now migrating from Selenium to Playwright to gain better performance, seamless cross-browser coverage, and deeper integration with modern CI/CD pipelines.

This blog explores why this migration makes sense, the advantages Playwright brings to automation teams, a side-by-side conceptual comparison with Selenium, and how AI-powered tools are transforming the way we write and maintain tests.

6-Step Process to Adopt Agents in Digital Assurance Today

Digital assurance has always been about precision, speed, and resilience. But as web ecosystems grow more complex—with dynamic UIs, evolving APIs, and constant releases—traditional test automation is starting to show its limits. Scripts break when the UI changes, locators drift, and teams spend countless hours maintaining test suites instead of innovating. That’s where Agentic AI steps in.

Reimagining Quality Engineering for the Agentic AI Era

A few years ago, Generative AI was the industry’s newest marvel — a clever assistant capable of writing, summarizing, and conversing. It worked quietly behind the scenes, helping humans think faster.
