Playwright vs TestBooster
Playwright is a modern end-to-end testing framework from Microsoft, supporting multiple browsers and languages like TypeScript and Python. While powerful, it remains code-first, requiring technical expertise. TestBooster democratizes automation for entire teams.
| Feature | Playwright | TestBooster |
|---|---|---|
| Coding required | TypeScript/Python required | No code — natural language |
| Test creation speed | Manual scripting | Up to 24x faster |
| Resilience to UI changes | ||
| Native mobile testing | Android experimental | |
| Natural language input | ||
| CI/CD integration | ||
| Auto-generated evidence | Trace viewer | Full screenshots + logs |
| Intent-driven AI engine | ||
| Test maintenance effort | High | Minimal |
| Access for non-developers |
Our conclusion
Playwright is an excellent choice for experienced developers, but it excludes non-technical QAs and product teams. TestBooster removes this barrier: anyone can create and run tests in natural language, with the same coverage and far less maintenance effort.
