A comparative analysis of web application test automation tools

The aim of this study was to compare three web application test automation tools: Playwright, Cypress and Selenium. The comparative analysis was carried out using an empirical study, which consisted of executing test scenarios and reviewing the documentation of the tested tools. The following measures were used as criteria for comparison: average test execution time, average percentage CPU usage, average percentage RAM usage. Based on the results obtained and their analysis, it was concluded that Playwright has shown higher effectiveness and flexibility in most test cases.
