Why do I choose PlayWright?

I used PlayWright + TS due it's a new Microsoft framework that allows cross-browser, cross-platform and test mobile web in a really easy way. I consider that this is the tool which is going to take our tests in another level, given the possibility to test certains browsers and different screen sizes and use locators.

It also allows us to improve our post-test resources: At the end of the test, automatically a report opens up in a new window, showing us a better impossible stats of our test execution. For example, this report offers us a easy way to analyze our test results, including the specific error, each step of the test, a screenshot in case of failure, a pixel by pixel comparison of an specific page and the test trace that allows us to see the execution of the test at every second and the 'Action, 'Before' and 'After' of each step.
