Choosing Selenium vs Playwright vs Cypress

Part of the QA Testing Roadmap.

Summary

Each tool has real trade-offs — Selenium's maturity and ecosystem, Playwright's modern speed and reliability, Cypress's developer experience for JS-heavy teams — the right choice depends on your target job market and project needs.

How to Learn This

  • 1Compare job postings in your target market for which tool is most commonly requested.
  • 2List one clear advantage of each tool based on what you've learned in this phase.
  • 3Practice justifying a tool choice for a hypothetical project, not just picking by familiarity.
