OVERVIEW
Cypress is an open-source, full-featured, and easy-to-use end-to-end testing framework for web application testing. Cypress is a relatively new player in the automation testing space and has been gaining a lot of traction lately, as evident from the number of Forks (2.2K) and Stars (36.6K) for the project.
Unlike Selenium, Cypress is preferred by front-end developers and automation testers who are well-versed with JavaScript. However, Cypress is slowly catching up with Selenium, and the six-month download trend comparison of Cypress and Selenium indicates that the war between the two frameworks will continue to intensify in the coming months.
If you’re a developer looking to automate the testing of your application, this Cypress testing tutorial walks through the basics of Cypress, how to use it for end-to-end testing, and more.
Choosing The Right Java Framework
New generation frameworks are emerging today with multiple advantages that can mark a shift in how applications are created and used. Of course, the best framework depends on you, your team, and the goals you're trying to hit. But no matter what you choose, Cypress can test anything quickly and easily.
So check out this article to know why you should choose Cypress over Selenium.
Both Cypress and Selenium are open-source test automation frameworks carrying individual advantages and limitations. Find out which framework is the best between this big Cypress Vs. Selenium fight.
