How do you pronounce Playwright (Microsoft's end-to-end testing framework)?
Playwright is pronounced 'PLAY-ryt' (/ˈpleɪraɪt/), two syllables with stress on the first. A playwright is a person who writes plays — and Microsoft's testing framework writes and runs automated browser scripts. 'Play' uses the long 'ay' diphthong, and 'wright' (meaning craftsman or maker) is pronounced 'ryt'. Stress: PLAY-ryt.

How do you pronounce Cypress (JavaScript end-to-end testing framework)?
Cypress is pronounced 'SY-priss' (/ˈsaɪprɪs/), two syllables with stress on the first. The word refers to the cypress tree, known for its tall, elegant form and longevity — qualities the testing framework aspires to. The vowel in the first syllable is the long 'i' diphthong (/saɪ/), like 'sky'. Stress: SY-priss.

How do you pronounce Vitest (Vite-native unit testing framework)?
Vitest is pronounced 'vee-TEST' (/viːˈtɛst/), two syllables with stress on the second. 'Vi' comes from Vite (the French word for 'fast', pronounced 'VEET'), so Vitest follows the same first syllable: 'vee'. The '-test' suffix is straightforward English. Vitest is the unit testing framework built to work natively with Vite. Stress: vee-TEST.

How do you pronounce Puppeteer (Chrome automation library)?
Puppeteer is pronounced 'pup-ih-TEER' (/ˌpʌpɪˈtɪər/), three syllables with stress on the final one. A puppeteer controls puppets from above — Google's Node.js library controls headless Chrome browsers in the same way, automating browser actions programmatically. The '-eer' suffix (like 'engineer', 'volunteer') always carries the stress: pup-ih-TEER.

How do you pronounce TestCafe (cross-browser end-to-end testing tool)?
TestCafe is pronounced 'TEST-ka-fay' (/ˈtɛstkæfeɪ/), three syllables with stress on the first. 'Cafe' is borrowed from French 'café' and in this context is pronounced with the final 'ay' sound — 'ka-fay'. The DevExpress testing tool runs tests in browsers without plugins. Stress: TEST-ka-fay, not 'TEST-kaf'.
