# Zerocheck vs Playwright

Choose between a code-first browser suite and a service for turning a release checklist into editable browser tests.

## What Playwright does well

- A code-first framework with Chromium, Firefox and WebKit support.
- Built-in assertions, resilient locators, tracing and parallel execution.

## Where Playwright falls short

- Choose the framework when your team needs low-level browser control or a broader browser matrix.
- Include test authoring, fixtures and failure investigation in the comparison; resilient locators already reduce many selector failures.

## How Zerocheck differs

- Start in the web app: describe the user flow and expected outcome, then review the drafted steps and real browser result.
- Save and edit web-managed tests, or download individual YAML tests for the optional CLI, GitHub Actions and MCP.
- Inspect step screenshots, console errors, every attempt and the exact test revision. Recordings are available when no configured credentials are used.

## Side by side

## Frequently asked questions

### How should I compare Zerocheck with Playwright?

Use the same real user flow, test data and expected outcome. Inspect one passing run, one intentional product failure and one harmless UI change. Compare setup, review effort and supported scope.

### What does the Zerocheck Pilot include?

Start on the free tier, with no credit card and an onboarding call. The Pilot is US$500 per month, with usage agreed around your suite and testing cadence. Your team supplies the app, test accounts and expected behavior.

### Can I keep my existing test suite?

Yes. Evaluate Zerocheck alongside it for selected browser flows. There is no automatic migration or import of another framework’s test code.
