    Selenium

    Selenium

    Software Freedom Conservancy

    Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point.

    Cypress

    Cypress

    Cypress.io

    Fast, easy and reliable end-to-end testing for anything that runs in a browser. Cypress has been made specifically for developers and QA engineers, to help them get more done. Cypress benefits from our amazing open-source community - and our tools are evolving better and faster than if we worked on them alone. Cypress is based on a completely new architecture. No more Selenium. Lots more power. Cypress takes snapshots as your tests run. Simply hover over commands in the Command Log to see exactly what happened at each step. Stop guessing why your tests are failing. Debug directly from familiar tools like Chrome DevTools. Our readable errors and stack traces make debugging lightning fast. Cypress automatically reloads whenever you make changes to your tests. See commands execute in real-time in your app. Never add waits or sleeps to your tests. Cypress automatically waits for commands and assertions before moving on. No more async hell.

    Puppeteer

    Puppeteer

    Puppeteer

    Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Puppeteer-core is intended to be a lightweight version of Puppeteer for launching an existing browser installation or for connecting to a remote one. Be sure that the version of puppeteer-core you install is compatible with the browser you intend to connect to. Puppeteer will be familiar to people using other browser testing frameworks. You create an instance of Browser, open pages, and then manipulate them with Puppeteer's API. By default, Puppeteer downloads and uses a specific version of Chromium so its API is guaranteed to work out of the box. To use Puppeteer with a different version of Chrome or Chromium, pass in the executable's path when creating a Browser instance.

    Playwright

    Playwright

    Playwright

    Playwright supports all modern rendering engines including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. Test on Windows, Linux, and macOS, locally or on CI, headless or headed. Playwright waits for elements to be actionable prior to performing actions. It also has a rich set of introspection events. The combination of the two eliminates the need for artificial timeouts - the primary cause of flaky tests. Playwright assertions are created specifically for the dynamic web. Checks are automatically retried until the necessary conditions are met. Configure test retry strategy, capture execution trace, videos, screenshots to eliminate flakes. Browsers run web content belonging to different origins in different processes. Playwright is aligned with the modern browsers architecture and runs tests out-of-process. This makes Playwright free of the typical in-process test runner limitations.

    XCTest

    XCTest

    Apple

    Create and run unit tests, performance tests, and UI tests for your Xcode project. Use the XCTest framework to write unit tests for your Xcode projects that integrate seamlessly with Xcode's testing workflow. Tests assert that certain conditions are satisfied during code execution, and record test failures (with optional messages) if those conditions aren’t satisfied. Tests can also measure the performance of blocks of code to check for performance regressions and can interact with an application's UI to validate user interaction flows. A test method is a small, self-contained method that tests a specific part of your code. A test case is a group of related test methods. Add test cases and test methods to a test target to confirm that your code performs as expected. The primary class for defining test cases, test methods, and performance tests. An abstract base class for creating, managing, and executing tests.
