Well explained. This series will be very helpful whoever wants to learn Playwright. I am expecting all videos run time will be like.

[GigioR]

A very well spoken and super informative series of tutorials, this has been helping me so much as I'm learning, thank you!!!

[CCleanerShot]

Wow, the information you give is great. In the first video, usually tutorials will label a few generic benefits to using it, but you really went into detail on things. This second video is really starting to impress me with your teaching.

Are you a licensed teacher? You talk like an experienced programmer and teacher. You explain everything that would be a possible question, before anyone even asks the question! Very informative, very good. You are the most impressive teacher online, doing this all on a 50GB hard drive with 3FPS ahahaha.

Hi sir. firstly your way of explaining and teaching is really the best among all.
I got an issue with WebKit sometimes the execution gets failed either in headed or nonheaded mode.

[meetamalhotra]

which IDE will be best to use for Playwright with C# ? Will it be VS Code or VS studio professional ?

[sumitagrawal]

Hi Raghav, Nice session on playwright, Can you pls suggest which framework is better playwright or Cypress, as both are gaining a lot of traction. We have to create an automation framework from scratch for testing MERN based app.

[meghana]

Can you also talk about limitations of Playwright? And can we integrate BrowserStack with PlayWright ?
