TUnit.Playwright v1.12.144 — nugetz

Feature	Traditional Frameworks	TUnit
Test Discovery	❌ Runtime reflection	✅ Compile-time generation
Execution Speed	❌ Sequential by default	✅ Parallel by default
Modern .NET	⚠️ Limited AOT support	✅ Native AOT & trimming
Test Dependencies	❌ Not supported	✅ `[DependsOn]` chains
Resource Management	❌ Manual lifecycle	✅ Automatic cleanup

Package	Use Case
`TUnit`	Start here - Complete testing framework (includes Core + Engine + Assertions)
`TUnit.Core`	Test libraries and shared components (no execution engine)
`TUnit.Engine`	Test execution engine and adapter (for test projects)
`TUnit.Assertions`	Standalone assertions (works with any test framework)
`TUnit.Playwright`	Playwright integration with automatic lifecycle management

// TUnit test with dependency management and retries
[Test]
[Arguments("value1")]
[Arguments("value2")]
[Retry(3)]
[ParallelLimiter<CustomLimit>]
