Playwright is an automation library for cross-browser end-to-end testing by @Microsoft. Available in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and .NET.playwright.devJoined May 2020
🧱 Component testing in Playwright has a new shape: stories & galleries.
✍️ A story wraps your component in one scenario — props, providers, mock data — in a *.story.tsx file next to the component.
🖼️ A gallery page, served by your own dev server, renders stories on demand — React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, anything.

🛑 AbortSignal support — cancel actions, navigations and assertions with a standard AbortController
🪝 locator.drop() — simulate external drag-and-drop of files onto upload zones, cross-browser
🗃️ page.localStorage / page.sessionStorage — read and write web storage directly

🔁 retryStrategy: 'isolated' — run retries at the end, one by one, free of interference
