Overview of this book

Cypress is a modern test automation framework for web-based frontend apps. Learning Cypress will help you overcome the shortcomings of conventional testing solutions such as dependency graph problems, the steep learning curve in setting up end-to-end testing packages, and difficulties in writing explicit time waits for your tests. In End-to-End Web Testing with Cypress, you’ll learn how to use different Cypress tools, including time travel, snapshots, errors, and console output, to write fail-safe and non-flaky tests. You’ll discover techniques for performing test-driven development (TDD) with Cypress and write cross-browser tests for your web applications. As you advance, you’ll implement tests for a sample application and work with a variety of tools and features within the Cypress ecosystem. Finally, this Cypress book will help you grasp advanced testing concepts such as visual testing and networking. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills you need to be able to set up Cypress for any web app and understand how to use it to its full potential.

Chapter 2: Differences between Selenium WebDriver and Cypress

Both Cypress and Selenium WebDriver are test automation frameworks that support end-to-end testing, and when someone mentions Cypress, there is a quick need to compare or find out which is better than the other. Before we get started on understanding the differences between Selenium WebDriver and Cypress, we will first need to understand the different motives for development between the two testing frameworks and who their intended users are.

Understanding the reasons why both Cypress and Selenium WebDriver are architecturally different will play a major role in helping you understand different and similar aspects of both the Selenium WebDriver and Cypress frameworks. In this section, we will evaluate ways in which both WebDriver and Cypress are unique, different, and similar in different ways.

We will explore the different use cases for both Selenium WebDriver and Cypress, and examine how each one is suitable for...
