Totally agreed, but real problem is QA person which is already working in selenium with java dont want to move in another language due to skill lack issue

Another face is - Manager ot test lead are not aware the power of js framework and knowledge.
To secure own job they avoid new tech in automation testing

They still are focusing on selenium with java only

Thanks Koushik, it's very useful insights.

Thank you for this video, I was really looking for a JS/TS vs Java Playwright from the perspective of someone who knows both variants.

I already guessed your thoughts on seeing the topic itself. When you were explaining HAR in Playwright, you were backing TS.

In my current company, I somehow convinced my Manager to go with Playwright but he was reluctant to use Typescript. Mainly because of the junior resources. Training them in TS and brining them upto speed is a risky bet and Manager dont want to take it. Several Integrations with in house tools are already made in Java. Doing them again in TS/JS would be difficult.

So finally ended up with Playwright Java only. But it was awesome too. Personally I love Java’s strict data typing and syntax. Lambdas are cherry on the top. So am lovin’ it…

Thanks for the video as always 😊The biggest challenge is the integration with the test plan (azure devops )/ jira for playwright typescript, just hope microsoft give native integration for these …..
Or if you have any idea please make a video on that…. Thanks

Hello Koushik, need some suggestions related to this video. My company using angular and backend as .net c#, and for qa automation we planned to use playwright but which language to pick is the question? How to evaluate between js, ts, python, java and c#? And finally need to give data pointa. Can you help me in this?

The video was very informative. However, can we create/read/write Excel and Text files using Typescript? Similarly during the automation there may be scenarios where we have to connect to Database to retrieve a value (yes, even during UI automation). Is that possible to connect DB using TS?

Thank you for sharing your views . It is very helpful 🙏. Also one more question. In playwright Java docs I don’t see fixtures topic. Is fixtures applicable to only JavaScript/ Typescript?

I also think, as a new tool the amount of effort that Cypress is making is not done by Playwright. In their Twitter Handle, Cypress used to keep sharing success stories, giving pro users evangelists title. They are promoting a lot which Playwright is missing. In a recent interview a CTO of a startup questioned me about Cypress but he didn’t know Playwright.

What are your thoughts about playwright with cucumberjs? Are you planning on any videos with this combination?

[parthipan]

Can you explain python scope compare with Javascript?
