Web Test Automation: Robot Framework vs Cypress vs Selenium
Youtube Webinar Video:
Getting Started:
This document will help you to review popular open-source web automation frameworks such as Selenium Webdriver, RobotFramework and Cypress.
We will make live examples on many subjects such as installation and technology, recording scenarios, running tests, test tracking and reporting, supported platforms, learning curve... Together we will be looking for answers to the questions of which one should we use and when, which one is more suitable for us.
