This project aims to modernize Django’s integration testing by introducing Playwright as an alternative to Selenium. The work includes integrating Playwright with Django’s test framework, migrating existing browser-based tests, and ensuring compatibility with Django’s CI infrastructure. The goal is to improve test reliability, performance, and developer experience for Django core contributors.
