Switching End-to-End Test Automation Frameworks: Lessons from Real-World Projects Free e-book: The 7 success factors of software testing. 25 years of project experience in one 33-page workbook, now also in English Get it for free "If we go with the wrong tools or wrong alternatives, then we might not be able to cover everything that we are supposed to do." - Mesut Durukal In this episode, I talk with Mesut Durukal about picking the right end to end test automation framework. Mesut shares why tool choice must serve real needs, not trends. It is a mindset shift from hype to needs. In his case users were on Safari, the team tool did not run there. He mapped needs, compared Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, TestCafe, and Nightwatch, and chose Playwright for speed and broad browser support. We talk about reporting, debugging, and docs. We touch on architecture, like keeping login and helpers outside specs, so migration stays clean. For me, this is tech with agility. Know your goals, grow your system, and review choices often.
