Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between TestCafe and Playwright?
Both automate browser tests, but their APIs and browser-control architecture differ. TestCafe uses native CDP automation for supported Chromium runs and its proxy mode for other browser scenarios. Playwright provides a browser automation library, while Playwright Test is its Node.js test runner; compare browser support and test features for your suite.
