The CORRECT way to pick your first testing framework

Most beginners to QA automation overthink which framework to pick, sometimes spending months "comparing different tools" and end up knowing nothing useful about any of them.

You do not need to pick only one, and you do not need to learn all of them either.

All testing frameworks do the same thing - click buttons, find elements, verify results. That's it.

📌 Pick ONE framework and learn it deeply. The framework choice matters way less than your testing skills.

But if I had to recommend one? 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

Here's why:

𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 - no driver management, no browser compatibility issues
𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 - no more flaky tests from timing issues
𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 - highest job demand growth in 2024-2025

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:

✅ 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 #𝟭: Master Playwright completely

✅ 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 #𝟮: Analyze your job market and what companies want

✅ 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 #𝟯: Do a quick overview of the most popular framework from your research

Now you can put on your resume and confidently say:

"My primary framework is Playwright, with supporting knowledge of Selenium/Cypress/Robot."

🎯 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀:

You have deep expertise (not just surface knowledge) - Playwright
You can adapt and learn quickly - Selenium/Cypress/Robot

Your framework choice won't make or break your career. But spending months on learning "all of them" would not advance it either. So, start simple, start with 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.
