🏁 Summary

Selenium is best for enterprise-grade, cross-language and cross-platform automation, especially if mobile automation (with Appium) is needed.


Cypress is ideal for frontend developers testing modern JavaScript apps with fast, in-browser execution and great debugging tools.


Playwright is great for modern end-to-end testing, with powerful automation capabilities and support for multiple languages and browsers out-of-the-box.
