Automated testing has become an integral part of web application development. However, testing in Safari, Apple's web browser, presents unique challenges due to the browser's strict Same-Origin Policy (SOP), especially when dealing with iframes. In this article, we'll explore known issues related to Safari's SOP, discuss workarounds, and demonstrate how Playwright, a popular automation testing framework, supports automated testing in this context.
In UI testing, choosing the right tool can greatly impact your testing process's stability, reliability, and maintenance. In this article, we'll compare two popular options: **Robot Framework** and **Playwright**. We'll focus on factors such as test stability, reducing flakiness, ease of maintenance, skill set required, features, and future-proofing options. Additionally, we'll delve into their pros and cons, limitations with Robot Framework, and why it may not be the ideal choice for a modern engineering process.
