We are excited to introduce Microsoft Playwright Testing, a new service built for running Playwright tests easily at scale. Playwright is a fast-growing, open-source framework that enables reliable end-to-end testing and automation for modern web apps. Playwright Testing service uses the cloud to enable you to run Playwright tests with much higher parallelization across different operating system-browser combinations simultaneously. This means getting tests done faster, which can help speed up delivery of features without sacrificing quality.
We are currently in private preview and need your feedback to help shape this service! To get started, join the waitlist.
Get test suite results faster
Automating end-to-end tests with Playwright helps ensure your web app works the way you expect it to across different web browsers or operating systems. Plus, adding it to your continuous integration (CI) workflow helps ensure those experiences remain great as that app evolves. However, as the app becomes more complex, the test suite required for comprehensive testing also increases in size. This results in longer test suite completion times, which can slow down your pace of feature delivery. Playwright Testing service gives you the ability to distribute your tests across many parallel browsers, leading to a quicker test suite completion.
Test across multiple operating systems and browser combinations
App complexity isn’t the only factor in increasing test suite size. Modern web apps need to work flawlessly across numerous browsers, operating systems, and devices. Testing across all these variables increases the amount of time it takes to run your test suite. With Playwright Testing service you’ll use the limitless scale of the cloud to run these tests simultaneously across all modern browsers on Windows and Linux and mobile emulation of Google Chrome for Android and Mobile Safari. This means you can have comprehensive test coverage without compromising how soon you want to ship.
No test code changes required
