## What it is
Modern Web is a collection of guides, tools, and libraries for modern web development, built on web standards with minimal abstraction. Its main products are Web Test Runner for running tests in real browsers and Web Dev Server for local development.

## Use cases
- run browser tests with a javascript test runner
- serve a local dev server for web components
- test code in real browsers via browserstack or saucelabs
- build web apps without heavy build abstractions
- set up modern web development tooling on web standards

## When to choose
- you want browser-based testing close to what actually runs in production
- you prefer lightweight, standards-based tooling with low complexity
- you need cross-browser test execution via cloud providers like Sauce Labs or BrowserStack

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured framework with routing, SSR, and state management
- your project relies on heavy bundler-specific abstractions
- you need testing for non-browser environments like Node unit tests only

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: testing, e2e-testing, http-server, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, testing, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cli, cross-platform
- tags: test-runner, dev-server, web-standards, browserstack, saucelabs, javascript, typescript, nodejs
