Puppeteer express

Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome over the DevTools Protocol . Also known as a Headless Chrome Node API, it is useful for automating the Chrome browser to run website tests. Fundamentally, Puppeteer is an automation tool and not a test tool.

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium .

Even though Puppeteer and Playwright sport similar APIs, Puppeteer seems to have a sizeable speed advantage on shorter scripts (close to 30% in our observations). Puppeteer and Playwright scripts show faster execution time (close to 20% in E2E scenarios) compared to the Selenium and DevTools WebDriverIO flavours.
