Playwright Cross-Browser Testing and Automation Framework

Uses Microsoft Playwright to automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with one API for testing, scraping, screenshots, tracing, and login flows. It fits teams that need reliable browser sessions, modern locator-based automation, and strong debugging artifacts instead of brittle timeout-heavy scripts.
