Their developers were pushing out features, but their testing process was proving to be the bottleneck. Their CTO called me in to help…

Their Selenium-based tests were running for hours in their…
It was 2015, and I vividly remember the frenzy in the tech world about automation testing services. Back then, Selenium was the undisputed king. It was the go-to tool, almost synonymous with test automation. Fast forward to today, and the landscape has shifted dramatically. While Selenium remains a formidable player, Playwright has emerged as a worthy contender. Now, every…
