Selenium, Puppeteer or Playwright How to Choose

Puppeteer is getting a lot of buzz as a way for JS developers to create E2E/UI tests. But is it better than Selenium? Not to be outdone, Microsoft forked and released a new version of Puppeteer, called Playwright, with added capabilities. What are the distinctions and how do you choose?
In this talk, we will compare those test automation platforms, demonstrating the differences. You will learn some of the key limitations and benefits of each platform to better inform your decision.

Thank you for the talk.

Great analysis and summary. Any chance you can create an updated version as playwright is adding features and with the 'official' selenium 4 release. Thanks

Excellent talk. Good effort. Very clear.

I am not sure why we are in awe of how a click is implemented. I am implementing clicks since I was a child configuring macros on my gaming mouse and keyboard. Like ok, I am also child like and very much enjoy how a click functions, but why focus on it in your argument when there is no different implementation to it between the options you are considering. It is always a keydown keyup that is it. Sorry if I am missing something here.

Thanks very useful talk. Do you have an updated review since this over 6 months? Would be interested if these tools are still tracking. Currently, looking to update existing tooling and Cypress and Playwright are being evaluated to replace our Selenium code.

Thanks for the explanation. Can we use puppeteer + selenium with other languages other than JavaScript? Like Python/Java/Scala etc

[@ahamedabdulrahman]

Puppeteer supports only Javascript as of now.

Nice!
However, You didnt even comment our Chris's WebDriverIO - Please provide your views on WebDriverIO NodeJS bindings and Selenium's bindings...
We also need Cucumber framework on top of it. Any nectar from you would be really useful.
