Founder @ Bondar Academy | I help Quality Engineers improve their technical skills and "connect the dots" in their heads.
Last week I talked with more than 70 QA Leads from different companies across the globe among my LinkedIn contacts. We talked about UI test automation frameworks. Here are some of the insights... 36% use Playwright 25% use Selenium 16% use Cypress Just 2 companies keep using Webdriver IO 10% use Playwright and Cypress 5% use Selenium and Cypress 3% use Playwright and Selenium 10% of those who currently use Playwright transitioned from Selenium recently. Companies that have both, Playwright and Cypress are generally happy with both frameworks. So they keep running older projects on Cypress but use Playwright for the new projects and do not rush with the transition. Companies that use Selenium and Cypress, or Selenium and Playwright, are thinking of making a transition from Selenium or are in the process of doing it. Few big companies have all 3 big frameworks in their tech stack. In summary, Playwright is already No. 1 in terms of adoption. Selenium is holding second place, but I noticed a higher desire to transition from Selenium than from Cypress. So I think in 1-2 years Selenium will be the 3rd.
