Cypress vs Playwright: how do you choose an E2E testing tool?
Answer
Both tools run end-to-end tests in real browsers.
**Consider:**
- Browser coverage and parallelization
- Flake resistance and auto-wait behavior
- Debugging experience and CI integration
- Team familiarity
A practical setup: keep E2E tests for critical user journeys, and rely on unit/integration tests for most logic to keep the suite stable and fast.
