Summary

It is without a doubt that Cypress is a powerful tool that can be leveraged by frontend teams and QA engineers to quickly get started and write tests without worrying about the overhead that comes with building test automation tools from the ground up. In this chapter, we learned why Cypress is the best web automation framework for testing, and we did this by comparing the different tools between Cypress and existing test automation tools. We also covered the differences between Cypress and Selenium, and the specific architectural similarities and differences between the two. Finally, we explored how we can leverage the tools. In the next chapter, we will learn how to use command-line tools to run, test, and debug Cypress tests.
