Effective coordination ensures realistic scenarios, faster root-cause analysis, and clear business impact. This article shows why communication is the hidden success factor in load testing and how decision-makers can strengthen it.

However, over the past few years, Microsoft’s open-source tool Playwright, released in 2020, has established itself as a serious alternative to Selenium and is increasingly being used in projects.
