BrowserStack Becomes the First Platform to Enable Playwright Testing on Real iOS Devices with Safari
PRNewswire
Dublin [Ireland], June 13: BrowserStack, the world's leading software testing platform, today announced support for Playwright tests on real iOS devices with Safari--becoming the first platform to close one of the most persistent gaps in browser test automation.
Playwright has become one of the most popular test automation frameworks globally. However, until now, developers and QA engineers couldn't use it to test websites on real iOS devices with Safari. They had to rely on Playwright's desktop browser emulation, which often misses real iOS device-specific issues and edge cases--resulting in false positives and incomplete test coverage.
"With iOS driving 28% of global web traffic, testing Safari on real iOS devices was the biggest missing piece in Playwright," said Nakul Aggarwal, CTO and Co-founder of BrowserStack. "Now, teams can confidently run Playwright tests on real iOS devices, ensuring consistent, reliable results across different browsers and devices."
BrowserStack Automate now supports Playwright tests on real iPhones and iPads using Safari, enabling teams to:
- Run parallel tests across 1000+ real iOS and Android device-browser combinations
- Get accurate, reliable results with real-device testing
- Capture network, video, and text logs in one place for faster debugging
- Simulate real-world conditions--such as location, network speed, timezone, and orientation
"With BrowserStack, we have saved up to 80% of our quality automation costs. We can test on two times more devices and browsers and up to three times more website sampling from releases," said Darius Dumitrescu, Global Technical Delivery Manager at L'Oreal.
Playwright testing on real iOS devices with Safari is now available on BrowserStack Automate. Try now for free.

Amazon enters quick commerce race with ‘Now' service in Bengaluru, targets rapid expansion: Report
Amazon has officially stepped into the ultra-fast delivery space with the launch of its quick commerce platform, Amazon Now, in select parts of Bengaluru, reported Moneycontrol. The service is currently live in three pin codes, marking the tech giant's formal entry into a sector dominated by Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart. Also Read - 'For every ₹1 we give, Karnataka gets only ₹0.15 back': Siddaramaiah seeks ₹1.15 lakh crore for Bengaluru The rollout follows a pilot project that began in December 2024 and reflects Amazon's growing focus on tapping into India's evolving demand for near-instant delivery of groceries and daily-use items. Unlike traditional e-commerce models that promise one to two-day shipping, quick commerce caters to consumers looking for deliveries within 10 to 30 minutes. Amazon is also reportedly planning to broaden its footprint across more Bengaluru neighbourhoods in the coming weeks, before taking the service to other major cities across India. The move is seen as a strategic effort to regain ground in a segment where Amazon has gradually lost market share to nimble quick commerce rivals. Also Read - Bengaluru climbs to 14th spot in Global Startup Ecosystem Rankings 2025 Quick commerce is no longer a niche — it's fast becoming the preferred choice for urban consumers. A joint report by Flipkart and Bain & Company revealed that in 2024, quick commerce platforms accounted for over 66% of online grocery purchases and about 10% of total e-commerce spending in India. This rapid adoption is beginning to eat into the business of legacy players like Amazon and Flipkart, who traditionally relied on slower but broader delivery models. Amazon's launch of Now is a clear signal that it is ready to compete head-on with platforms that are reshaping how Indians shop for everyday needs. The choice of Bengaluru for Amazon Now's debut is no coincidence. The city has become the testing ground for most quick commerce players, thanks to its dense urban layout, tech-savvy population, high smartphone penetration, and willingness to adopt new consumer trends early. With a strong base of working professionals and a culture of convenience-first consumption, Bengaluru offers the ideal conditions for ultra-fast delivery services to scale.
