![]() It is a single command installation from NPM The installation is pretty simple and can be easily done by most people. But there are a lot of help documents and videos available to help you if you get stuck anywhere Puppeteer works pretty fast compared to any other automation tool in Chrome while it provides no support to other toolsįor someone who is new to tool installations, it can look a bit complex. But it still works at a good speed with respect to any automation tool. and others.Ĭompared to Puppeteer, Selenium is slower only in Chrome. But you can still find some help online in forums like Quora, StackOverflow, etc. There are several helpful groups, communities and WhatsApp groups where you can post your questions and concerns to get solutions in quick time.Īpart from some Google groups, you would hardly find any relevant support as this tool is used by a very small testing community it can be leveraged for other browsers with some challenges. It supports testing in Chrome and Firefox. Supported by Google and hence has a maximum support for Chrome Gives you the flexibility to work with most browsers including Chrome, Mozilla, Safari, IE, Opera, etc. This is a major limitation when it comes to the usage of this toolĬhai Mocha again uses JavaScript for its unit test framework Puppeteer supports only JavaScript for Node.js. Se supports scripting in Java, Python, Node.js & C# meaning, you can choose from supported languages and find the supporting jar files to get started. Now let us see some comparative data for these 3 tools, to help you understand which one to choose for your need. Hope you have got a basic understanding of these tools. This Chai Mocha framework is frequently used for unit testing by developers to perform tests and report results. By using Chai with Mocha the user can get the results in the required format. While Chai is an assertion library that is used to validate the test case results. The results of these tests are displayed on the terminal window. Mocha is a simple testing framework that will allow you to execute a set of functions in sequence. With Puppeteer you can take a deep dive into Chrome functionalities easily which could be a challenge when it comes to other open-source automation tools.Ĭhai and Mocha are JavaScript frameworks that are commonly used together. ![]() In simpler terms, being from the same parent gives it greater control and flexibility to work with Chrome. Now Puppeteer is a node.js library from Google as well, which gives you a high-level API control over Chrome and Chromium using the DevTools protocol. When it comes to web automation the most commonly used browser is Chrome which is from Google. There are several other advantages as well when it comes to Selenium. Multiple browser support means that we can use it for cross-browser testing as well. This tool has become so popular because of the flexibility and controls it offers in execution the commands on the browser. ![]() This is also an open-source tool that makes it more acceptable to companies. This enables even developers to write create and execute automation test cases through Selenium. It also supports scripting in several languages including Java, Python, and C#. Selenium has established itself as the most popular web browser automation tool with support for most of the available browsers including Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari, etc. There are several tools available for you to choose based on the kind of application you have like a web-based app or a mobile app or a desktop software etc. Now here is the challenge, many small and even big companies are going to the open-source automation tools which give them the flexibility to customize as per their need without any investment. Most teams take the help of automation tools. Since testing is still a task on our User Stories, it needs to be completed. This is what happens in real-life scenarios. To start with, the scope for manual testing has reduced. Who does that? How does it fit in the 2-week agile sprint? Is manual testing even possible in such a short time? Bottom line is testing still needs to be done. So much to an extent where the role of the tester has completely changed! With the coming in of the PDO ( Product Driven Organization) structure, there are no more testers and developers but only full-stack engineers. The software life cycle has undergone drastic changes in the last decade. ![]()
