"Because if we go with wrong tools or wrong alternatives like libraries, frameworks, whatever we are using in our environment or ecosystem, then we might not be able to cover everything that we are supposed to do." - Mesut Durukal

In this episode, I talk with Mesut Durukal about picking the right end to end test automation framework. Mesut shares why tool choice must serve real needs, not trends. It is a mindset shift from hype to needs. In his case users were on Safari, the team tool did not run there. He mapped needs, compared Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, TestCafe, and Nightwatch, and chose Playwright for speed and broad browser support. We talk about reporting, debugging, and docs. We touch on architecture, like keeping login and helpers outside specs, so migration stays clean. For me, this is tech with agility. Know your goals, grow your system, and review choices often.

Highlights:
Choose automation tools based on real needs, not hype.
Match browser support to your users, Safari included.
Evaluate frameworks with clear criteria across Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, TestCafe, and Nightwatch.
Playwright delivered speed and broad cross browser coverage for the team.
Modular tests with shared helpers simplify maintenance and migration.
