Playwright
Browser automation across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, with a single API and real waiting instead of sleeps.
The one that made cross-browser testing boring.
What it is sold for
Automating and testing a site in real browsers.
Used to build this site
- PlaywrightchecksFourteen viewports, both sides of every breakpoint. Added after a phone rendered 517 pixels of content inside 375.Evidence: scripts/check-mobile.mjs, check-print.mjs, check-visible.mjs
Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Named by:
- Generated and maintained Playwright tests with automated test case discovery. The domain no longer resolves.
- Explores a web application from a URL, generates Playwright tests, runs them and repairs them when the interface changes.
Same shelf
The rest of testing and code quality, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Scans public repositories and reports how much of the code looks machine-generated.
- Amazon's automated review service. The address now serves CodeGuru Profiler, which is about runtime cost rather than review.
- Visual regression testing. Compares rendered screenshots rather than the DOM, so a layout that moves is caught even when the markup did not change.
- Test automation aimed at quality teams rather than at engineers, with tests authored and maintained without code.
- Mock API endpoints created in seconds, generated from a prompt or from captured traffic, across REST, GraphQL and gRPC.
- Records real Java runtime behaviour and turns it into regression tests and review verdicts.
- Continuous profiling for PHP and other runtimes, aimed at finding the slow function rather than the slow request.
- Generates, runs and maintains end-to-end tests automatically, and claims to resolve most of its own failures.
