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...
