Write Playwright tests
at scale.

From visual builders to full TypeScript — write resilient, maintainable Playwright tests that survive UI changes. Automatic flakiness detection, quarantine, and root cause grouping keep your pipeline green.

Test Authoring

Three ways to write. One platform.

Choose the approach that fits your workflow — visual, code, or generated. All outputs are clean, reviewable Playwright code.

Visual No-Code Builder

Click through your application and Check Studio records every interaction. Generates clean, maintainable Playwright test code automatically — no programming required.

Full TypeScript API

Write tests in code with complete Playwright API access. Autocomplete, type safety, and a rich assertion library. The same tooling you use for application code.

Playwright Codegen

Record interactions directly in the browser and export as Playwright test scripts. Modify and extend in the editor. The fastest path from manual to automated testing.

Reusable Components

Build shared test fixtures, page objects, and helper functions once and reuse across your entire test suite. Centralized component library with version control.

Selector Strategy

Resilient selectors that survive UI changes.

Brittle CSS paths are the number one cause of test maintenance. Check Studio defaults to user-facing, accessibility-based selectors — the same approach Playwright recommends.

User-facing roles
page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Checkout' })

Mirrors how users perceive the page. Survives most CSS refactors.

Accessible labels
page.getByLabel('Email address')

Uses ARIA attributes for targeting. Improves test resilience and accessibility.

Data-testid attributes
page.getByTestId('submit-order')

Stable contract between application and test. Explicit and unambiguous.

Brittle CSS paths
page.locator('.checkout-btn.primary')

Breaks on class renames, style changes, or component restructuring.

selectors.test.ts
// Resilient Playwright selectors
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('complete checkout flow', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/products');

  // User-facing role selector
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Add to cart' }).first().click();
  await expect(page.getByTestId('cart-count')).toHaveText('1');

  // Accessible label selector
  await page.getByLabel('Email address').fill('user@example.com');

  // Stable test-id selector
  await page.getByTestId('submit-order').click();
  await expect(page.getByRole('heading'))
    .toContainText('Order confirmed');
});

// Avoid brittle CSS paths:
// ❌ await page.locator('.btn.btn-primary').click();
// ❌ await page.locator('#app > div:nth-child(3)');

Flakiness Management

Catch flaky tests before they break trust.

Flaky tests erode confidence in your entire suite. When engineers start ignoring failures, you have already lost. Check Studio identifies, scores, and quarantines them automatically.

Automatic Retry with Backoff

Transient failures like network timeouts are handled with configurable retry logic — not hidden under the rug, but surfaced for review.

Flakiness Scoring & Quarantine

Every test gets a 0–1 flakiness score based on historical pass/fail patterns. Tests above threshold are quarantined from CI blocking.

Root Cause Grouping

Related failures are grouped by root cause — whether network timeouts, race conditions, environment issues, or test logic errors.
