Summary

In this chapter, we have learned about E2E testing, an essential software development practice that ensures an application works perfectly from start to finish. E2E testing involves all integrated systems, both internal and external, to identify dependencies and verify the smooth flow of information.

We also learned about the most common E2E testing tools, Protractor, Cypress, and Playwright. We explored the strengths of each tool:

Protractor: Designed for Angular applications, offering Angular-specific APIs for interacting with elements and handling asynchronous operations
Cypress: A user-friendly tool that supports asynchronous/await syntax and concurrent test execution (albeit with limitations in the free version)
Playwright: Provides a modern async/await approach to test scripting, encourages simultaneous test execution for faster execution, and boasts a simple API for efficient test development

Understanding the advantages and limitations of these...
