Ask HN: What's your experience of value over cost of e2e tests?

Evaluating whether to adopt Playwright tests and would love other people experience. What were your pain points, does it scale well, is it easy to monitor? What to watch out?

I’ve found them incredibly useful when making widespread changes where it’s hard to predicts the effects - one example is upgrading dependencies.

We’ve been using a combination of playwright tests and Meticulous. Playwright tests for the areas where we want solid coverage and are willing to put in the effort. Meticulous for the areas where we want decent coverage but aren’t willing to spend the time writing tests.
