How We Use Playwright for Automated Testing!

Today we’re diving deep into our first automated testing suite with Playwright! There’s 180k+ people Jamming in 75+ countries, which is so awesome! But it also brings up a variety of web compatibility edge cases that can be tricky to identify with manual QA testing. So to keep shipping fast, we’re making our automated testing more robust. Today, Jam Eng, Aidan, is sharing all the details with you all!
