A side effect we noticed after the migration to .Net 6 was that the test task in Azure DevOps took a lot longer than before. The test execution itself did not change much, but the dotnet test task had much more overhead than vstest. As an example, the test task took 4m 48s, while the …
Last week I was in Oslo to attend the NDC conference. I cannot really believe that this was already the 10th NDC Oslo I attended. With 2’600 attendees it was the biggest NDC event ever, but at least for me not the best. Practical Clean Architecture workshop with Jason Taylor I started my NDC …
We recently had a strange behaviour in Azure DevOps: When we run our tests there, the test runner found nearly 16’000 tests. If we run the tests for the same solution in Visual Studio, we only had about 2’000 tests. Where did those additional 14’000 tests come from? We checked every setting in the test …

After my series of 13 posts about Playwright spanning C# and Python, it is time to answer the two question I got asked a lot in the past few weeks: Is Playwright ready for production? Yes Should we switch to Playwright? It depends. The second one is a boring answer, but if you want to …
If you must run Playwright on a specific browser, you will find a service like BrowserStack a great help. Let’s look how we can connect Playwright to BrowserStack and Selenium Grid. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. You find the code …
After last week’s success with BrowserStack, I tried to run Playwright on Selenium Grid. The user experience for this use case is at the opposite end of the scale. The documentation is not much help and Selenium Grid has its own incompatibilities. Let’s look at how we can still make it work. Preparation I …
In this post we explore 3 helpful ways to figure out what went wrong if Playwright cannot find the elements we are looking for. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. You find the code for this post in my PythonFriday repository …
At work we use Selenium and BrowserStack for end-to-end tests in C#. How much work is it to connect Playwright to BrowserStack? Prerequisites For BrowserStack we need an account that can run code on the Automate feature. If you do not already have an account, you can create one for free and test BrowserStack. …
Last week we got Playwright up and running in Python. In this post we build on that and start to automate our browser. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. You find the code for this post in my PythonFriday repository on …
