Playwright is an open-source, end-to-end testing framework developed by Microsoft that enables reliable, automated testing of web applications across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. It supports modern JavaScript and TypeScript, offering advanced features such as auto-waiting, parallel execution, and built-in support for handling single-page applications (SPAs).
In the Blaze tech stack, Playwright is used to automate functional and regression testing for the React-based front end, ensuring consistent performance across browsers and devices. It verifies dynamic interactions, UI components, and personalisation logic driven by Blaze’s no-code content controls. Integrated into Blaze’s CI/CD pipelines, Playwright accelerates development by catching issues early, reducing manual QA effort, and increasing deployment confidence. It supports Blaze’s goal of empowering non-technical teams to deliver high-quality, sophisticated websites without developer intervention.
