Testing web user interfaces using Playwright
Playwright is an open source framework for the automated testing of websites and web apps across various browsers. Playwright was developed by Microsoft and is maintained as an open-source project. The development of Playwright is primarily driven by Microsoft engineers, many of whom previously worked on Puppeteer, a similar web testing tool developed by Google.
Playwright is hosted on GitHub under the Microsoft organization, which actively maintains it and releases updates. The GitHub link is as follows: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright.
While it’s an open-source project and contributions can come from the wider community, the core direction and development are controlled by Microsoft. Playwright is a part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to improve developer tools, especially for testing modern web applications.
