New capability enables QA teams to automate Playwright scripts on real iPhones and iPads for unmatched mobile testing precision

LambdaTest, a GenAI-powered quality engineering platform, has announced support for Playwright testing on real iOS devices, enabling mobile web teams to run automated tests on actual iPhones and iPads using Safari. This update helps QA and engineering teams validate user experiences with far greater accuracy than simulators or emulators can offer.

Testing mobile web apps on virtual environments often leads to discrepancies in real-world behavior such as missed touch interactions, inconsistent browser rendering, and undetected performance bottlenecks. LambdaTest now eliminates that uncertainty by allowing developers to execute Playwright tests on physical iOS devices. While Playwright itself does not natively support real iOS hardware, LambdaTest’s integration bridges that gap, providing seamless access to Apple’s Safari browser on real devices.

Users can integrate directly with their CI/CD pipelines, run parallel tests across devices, and access rich debugging artefacts like network logs, command logs, and video recordings, making issue resolution faster and more effective.

“We’re committed to helping developers ship faster without compromising on quality,” said Mayank Bhola, Co-Founder and Head of Product at LambdaTest. “With Playwright testing now available on real iOS devices, teams can finally close the accuracy gap in mobile browser automation and deliver digital experiences that feel right to every user, every time.”

LambdaTest continues to push forward in enabling seamless, real-world testing at scale. This latest release gives teams the confidence to catch bugs earlier and optimize performance in real user conditions on real devices.
