"Should we move to Playwright?" You will be asked this, and the quality of your answer is a senior signal in itself. Most teams decide it on enthusiasm in one direction or inertia in the other.
Start by naming the actual problem. "Selenium is old" is not a problem. These are:
- The suite takes four hours and blocks releases.
- Tests are flaky and the team has stopped trusting them.
- Writing a test takes a day because the framework is unusable.
- We cannot test the flows that matter (multi-tab, network state).
- We cannot hire; every candidate wants to work with modern tooling.
