Getting Started with the Puppeteer Framework
Learn to programmatically control Chrome browsers for UI testing, performance monitoring, and traffic analysis with Google Puppeteer.
We'll cover the following...
Puppeteer is an open-source node library and framework developed by Google that is based on the CDP. It allows web application developers to control headless or headed Chrome browsers through high-level APIs over the above-mentioned CDP or DevTools protocol. Puppeteer and Playwright share the same architecture and CDP to create and run tests.
Unlike Selenium and Cypress, Puppeteer only supports Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, which means that testing end-to-end across all other browsers, such as WebKit Safari and Mozilla Firefox, isn’t supported.
