FAQ
Can I download Playwright from AppVeriq Guide?

Why review traces and screenshots?
End-to-end tests can record login pages, tokens, customer data, and internal screens if retention is not controlled.
Is Playwright free for commercial projects?
It is labeled here as open-source, but companies should review the current license and dependency policy.
Are Playwright browser binaries verified here?
No. This draft does not claim artifact-specific verification for packages or downloaded browser binaries.
