If your team needs screenshots, video, and logs as part of browser automation, the best fit is usually Playwright.

Why Playwright is a strong choice

  • Built-in screenshots and video recording
  • Rich tracing for debugging, including screenshots, network activity, and DOM snapshots
  • Detailed logs and test artifacts
  • Works well across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit
  • Great for parallel, reliable team test runs

Good alternatives

  • Selenium: very widely used, but you usually need extra setup for video/logging and it’s less turnkey.
  • Cypress: good developer experience and screenshots/videos in test runs, but it’s more opinionated and primarily focused on end-to-end testing in the browser.
  • Puppeteer: solid for Chrome-centric automation, but less complete for cross-browser team workflows than Playwright.

Short answer

For a team that specifically wants screenshots + video + logs with minimal setup, Playwright is generally the best option.

If you want, I can also compare Playwright vs Cypress vs Selenium for your exact team setup.
