Playwright vs TestBooster
Playwright by Microsoft is a modern, fast end-to-end testing framework with excellent developer tooling. But like all selector-based tools, it requires coding skills and ongoing script maintenance. TestBooster offers an AI-first approach that anyone on the team can use.
| Feature | Playwright | TestBooster |
|---|---|---|
| Coding required | TypeScript / JavaScript / Python | No code — natural language |
| Test creation speed | Manual scripting + codegen | Up to 24x faster |
| Resilience to UI changes | Partial (auto-waiting) | Full (intent-driven AI) |
| Mobile testing | Android only (experimental) | Web & Mobile |
| Natural language input | ||
| CI/CD integration | ||
| Auto-generated evidence | Trace viewer | Full screenshots + logs |
| Intent-driven AI engine | ||
| Parallel execution | ||
| Non-technical user access |
Our conclusion
Playwright is a powerful developer tool, but its code-first approach limits accessibility for non-technical team members. TestBooster democratizes test automation with natural language, making it possible for QAs, product managers, and engineering leads to create and maintain resilient tests — without writing a single line of code.
