Developers in need of an automation library solution for cross-browser end-to-end testing
About Playwright
Playwright supports all modern rendering engines including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. Test on Windows, Linux, and macOS, locally or on CI, headless or headed. Playwright waits for elements to be actionable prior to performing actions. It also has a rich set of introspection events. The combination of the two eliminates the need for artificial timeouts - the primary cause of flaky tests. Playwright assertions are created specifically for the dynamic web. Checks are automatically retried until the necessary conditions are met. Configure test retry strategy, capture execution trace, videos, screenshots to eliminate flakes. Browsers run web content belonging to different origins in different processes. Playwright is aligned with the modern browsers architecture and runs tests out-of-process. This makes Playwright free of the typical in-process test runner limitations.

Selenide
You don't need to think how to shut down browser, handle timeouts and StaleElement Exceptions or search for relevant log lines, debugging your tests. We are proud to claim that Selenide is so simple that you don't need to read tons of documentation. Selenium WebDriver is a great tool, but it’s not a tool for testing. It’s a tool for browser manipulation. There are several testing libraries around Selenium WebDriver. But it seems that they do not resolve the main problems of UI tests. Namely, instability of tests caused by dynamic content, JavaScript, Ajax, timeouts etc. Selenide was created to resolve these problems. First of all, Selenide makes your tests stable by resolving (almost) all Ajax/timing issues. We are proud to claim that Selenide is so simple that you don't need to read tons of documentation. The whole work with Selenide consists of three simple things!
