Every managed QA vendor, including us, claims to write "good" Playwright tests. Almost none of that claim is measurable. So we built a scorer that doesn't take anyone's word for it — an open-source, deterministic, AI-free tool called playwright-score — and pointed it at 17 real, public Playwright suites we don't own, didn't write, and didn't curate for a good outcome.
The result: 1,214 spec files, 5,943 tests, 168,902 lines of test code, and 5,467 individual rule violations, scored on 2026-08-19 against each project's live main/master branch. Every number in this post is reproducible from a single script against the public repos linked throughout — no surveys, no self-reported data, nothing from our own customers.
