qunit VS Playwright

Mocha can also run in the browser: https://mochajs.org/#running-mocha-in-the-browser. An alternative library that can also run in the browser is QUnit: https://qunitjs.com/. You can include both with

QUNIT: QUnit was first installed on NPM, which is a javascript testing framework. It’s a javascript based unit testing framework. For more info: https://qunitjs.com/

It is a known fact that before any developer pushes the code (either to the development environment or Staging environment before migrating to the Production environment), he would be performing unit testing on the code changes that he has made. For unit testing, developers have a variety of unit-testing frameworks to choose from. JUnit and Jasmine are the most popular unit-testing frameworks. Other types of tests performed at a module/package level are functional tests and visual regression tests. Cucumber is a popular choice for Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) or functional testing, and a visual screenshot comparison tool named Wraith is preferred for performing visual regression testing.

Tests are located in the test/ folder. Load test/test.html in your browser of choice with any HTTP server you like (I use http-server). Tests are written in QUnit and are…

However, jQuery is still used today and has spawned other projects like jQuery UI and Quint.

4.Playwright: Playwright is a browser automation library by Microsoft. Key Features: Supports Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Provides cross-browser testing capabilities. Allows automating web, mobile, and desktop applications

HTML to PDF conversion is a common requirement in modern web applications. It allows users to save web pages, reports, and other content in a format that is easy to share and print. There are many libraries and services available for converting HTML to PDF, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will compare some of the most popular HTML to PDF renderers in Node.js, including Puppeteer, Playwright, node-html-pdf, and Onedoc.

Playwright [ https://playwright.dev/ ] ✅

Playwright seems to be a superior library for working with headless browsers than Puppeteer, but I will go with Puppeteer.

Playwright is a Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows you to write scripts to interact with web pages, just like a real user would. You can use it to fill out forms, click buttons, and navigate between pages. It is most commonly used for end-to-end testing of the code-base, but it's also a great tool for monitoring continuously.

I tend to agree. An example of how it can be net-zero gain is in this screenshot[1]. To have something maintainable, you have to do your own refactoring pass on the generated code. At that point, it's not much effort to write the test yourself than it is to refactor all of the redundancies.

If you ever find that you need to automate some browsing and Selenium comes to your mind, banish that thought! :)

Do yourself a favour, use Playwright instead.

It's a headless browser that's both faster and less flaky than Selenium.

Playwright is a relatively new but powerful node library for browser automation. Developed by Microsoft, it enables cross-browser web automation that is ever-reliable for end-to-end testing. Playwright is compatible with all modern web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and offers capabilities for both headless and non-headless browser testing.

Hah yeah that's confusing.

https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro is actually the documentation for pytest-playwright - their pytest plugin.

https://playwright.dev/python/docs/library is the documentation for their automation library.

I just filed an issue pointing out that this is confusing. https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/29579

Playwright is the fastest growing web testing framework. Playwright enables end-to-end (E2E) tests to be created by synthetically driving a headless browser session and enabling assertions to verify the system performs as expected. With Playwright traces, you can review a test after the script has run and identify exactly what occurred.
