You point an AI at your app. You give it a prompt about as detailed as “explore this site and write tests.” You go make a coffee. You come back to 200 Playwright tests, all written, all runnable, and (this is the really enticing part) all green. It genuinely feels like magic. A week of…
The cheapest AI-generated Playwright test can become the most expensive test in the suite if an AI agent has to reason through it every time it runs. That is the uncomfortable part of AI-assisted Playwright testing. Enterprise teams often want the speed of AI agents and Playwright MCP, while the organization quite reasonably ask two…
RSAT support ends after May 15, 2027. Playwright can automate Dynamics 365, but that does not automatically make raw Playwright the right replacement for everything RSAT provided. For some teams, Playwright will be an excellent foundation. For others, replacing hundreds of RSAT tests with code could turn a migration into a software-engineering project. The real…
Showing that you did something is not the same as showing how you did something. Your math teachers in school always wanted you to show your work on tests instead of just writing the right answer. And while your friends or family love that chocolate dessert you served them, they’ll often want to know how you…
Most release-related questions are easy… until someone asks for receipts. “Did we validate this release?” sounds like a simple yes-or-no question, but enterprise QA teams rarely get away with answering it that way. An auditor wants evidence. A regulator wants a defensible chain of reasoning, while a VP wants an answer before their coffee gets…
If you’re a Salesforce Lightning QA engineer, you face a variety of challenges unique to your role. Issues like Shadow DOMs, dynamic IDs, and asynchronous rendering can make it especially challenging to design, write, execute, and manage tests for Lightning apps. Meanwhile, you’re doing this work as teams face pressure to release application updates early…
Playwright is outstanding at running tests. That is a major reason why so many development teams have adopted it. You write a test, commit it to Git, run it locally or through CI, and get useful feedback quickly. For an individual developer or a small team, the model works remarkably well. But internal adoption rarely…
Note: This is part one of a series about the challenges that come with managing Playwright at scale and solutions for addressing these issues. Every software development and QA team hits meaningful milestones in their work. Sometimes, these milestones celebrate achievements, like pushing a large software release. Other times, they include challenges, such as scaling…
When Microsoft shipped Playwright Agents in October 2025, it raised the bar for what modern test automation could look like. Playwright’s three AI agents (Planner, Generator, and Healer) work together to automate test creation, maintenance, and repair, delivering real speed and reducing manual effort across the entire testing lifecycle. For enterprise teams looking to maximize…
Every organization has growing pains, whether it’s scaling systems, managing budgets, or picking the perfect coffee maker for the new office. Software testing’s chief challenges typically fall into two fundamental categories: technical and organizational. The challenges engineers tend to home in on are the technical ones. Issues like test degradation, environmental mismatches, and time synchronization…
