What is Playwright?
Playwright is an open-source automation framework developed by Microsoft for end-to-end testing of web applications. It
enables developers to replicate real user interactions, such as clicking elements, navigating pages, and making assertions.
Supporting multiple programming languages like JavaScript and TypeScript, Playwright works across major browsers, including Chromium,
Firefox, and WebKit. Known for its speed, reliability, and comprehensive feature set, it offers built-in support for headless
testing, parallel execution, and network interception.

examples of essential commands.
Steps to integrate Playwright with Testiny
To easily set up with Testiny, simply install the Playwright Testiny reporter,
configure your Playwright config file, and then upload your test results to Testiny. This streamlined
process ensures a hassle-free integration.
Playwright JSON reports
Start by setting up your Playwright tests to use the junit reporter and run them; the reporter will generate a JSON
report file in the results folder. Next, generate an API key and use the Testiny CLI to import the results, which will
automatically create a test run in Testiny and upload all data from the report.
Playwright JUnit reports
Configure your Playwright tests to use the junit reporter, which will generate detailed reports for each spec file
in the results folder when you run the playwright test. Then, generate an API key and utilize the Testiny CLI to import these results, automatically creating a test run in Testiny and importing all test outcomes effortlessly.
No Node.js required You don’t need Node.js for your project or automated tests. However, if you use NPM, you can easily install and update the Testiny CLI. Alternatively, standalone binaries are available for those who prefer not to use Node.js.
