-* [**Playwright**](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/master/docs/helpers/Playwright.md) - is a Node library to automate the Chromium, WebKit and Firefox browsers with a single API.

-* [**WebDriver**](https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/blob/master/docs/helpers/WebDriver.md) - uses [webdriverio](http://webdriver.io/) to run tests via WebDriver or Devtools protocol.

 With CodeceptJS your scenario-driven functional and acceptance tests will be as simple and clean as they can be.
 You don't need to worry about asynchronous nature of NodeJS or about various APIs of Playwright, Selenium, Puppeteer, TestCafe, etc. as CodeceptJS unifies them and makes them work as they are synchronous.
