Nov 6, 2025 By Jason English In Speedscale
We’ll always remember 2025 as the year AI code assistants went big. Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, whatever.

Why do you only use Playwright for pre-release testing and not for production monitoring, too?

Oct 23, 2025 By Checkly In Checkly
We've been running Playwright in production for years. Today, we, at Checkly, are going all in with Playwright Check Suites. Playwright Check Suites is our latest step towards uniting testing and monitoring into a single workflow. It's our biggest advancement yet!
