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.

Accepting based on new-features discussion. Removing "new feature" as I don't expect us to document this (the SeleniumTestCase is only documented in the contributing docs).
