Cypress vs Selenium - Pros & Cons of Cypress - Part -2

[@rohitbdc4]

One of major disadvantage is cypress is not free if we have team of more than 3. Lot of companies and start up doesnt want upfront investment in tools. Overall very informative video. I was doing POC for cypress and got my answer straightaway.

Thanks @Naveen AutomationLabs. We could gain much knowledge on Cypress and related topics. Could you please make more videos on Cypress API and also on Framework part

Naveen, Can you help how to automate a login screen using MFA with cypress ?

There are certain other areas where Cypress has edge over selenium. You may cover them in your future videos. 1. Intercepting, mocking XHR / api requests. use-case: test scenarios without dependency on backend. faster. less flakier tests. 2. Ability to check and play with indexDb / cache / cookies. use-case: check impact on cache, indexDb for certain features, if behaving as expected. 3. Ability to play with chrome dev tools and perform any actions on console - use-case: run command to enable/disable specific AB test. ++ cypress is a single package for all web / api automation needs. Takes less effort to setup whole thing as compared to selenium. ++ automating any scenario in cypress is way quicker as compared to in selenium. end result, testers can do more coverage in lesser time.

Mobile browser we can automate our testcases in Cypress with viewport. So cypress is supported Mobile Browser.

[@khushboosingh6352]

I want to join your software testing class I'm a beginner and don't know what should I do. Should I start with java or manual testing? please guide me

[@manirajs5006]

Hi Naveen, Cypress support mobile browser using cy.viewport() command. Kindly clarify whether my statement is correct or not..

[@naveenautomationlabs]

But not in mobile devices. Only in browser view port.

[@wasimakram2935]

Hi Is there any other way apart from cy.reload() to reload the page Thanks in advancd

[@antraverma3297]

Hi Naveen Thanks for the video. Can u make a video on RPA vs Selenium??

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Yes, soon

[@VineetKumar-eb3lv]

Hi Naveen Cypress is supporting mozilla and Edge.Also it supports xpath.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Xpath not directly but via xpath plugin only. Ans firefox is in beta development. That's what I mentioned in the video.

[@shrikanthmenon877]

Hey Naveen, That was a pretty good comparison. However, why do you say Cypress which only supports JavaScript, a disadvantage as such. Is it not more like saying the browser which only supports JavaScript, is a disadvantage?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

For a programmer point of view, not for browser.

[@shrikanthmenon877]

@@naveenautomationlabs Mmm okay, I suppose it is more directed towards the adoption of the tool.

[@zeeshanakhtar8902]

Cypress looks opensource but when you want to scale and run parallely you have to pay for dashboard to run test parallel that sucks

[@divb8733]

Hello, I would also like to know few other points on cypress - how multiple test classes can be run using testNG framework? - how can you run a pipeline through bitbucket on Browserstack for these test scripts? Please add videos related to above points as well. Thank you
