Cucumber.js VS CodeceptJS

What you're describing is most commonly known as acceptance testing, or behavior-driven tests. There's an excellent framework for this called Cucumber. They have gems for both plain Ruby and Rails.

It is a known fact that before any developer pushes the code (either to the development environment or Staging environment before migrating to the Production environment), he would be performing unit testing on the code changes that he has made. For unit testing, developers have a variety of unit-testing frameworks to choose from. JUnit and Jasmine are the most popular unit-testing frameworks. Other types of tests performed at a module/package level are functional tests and visual regression tests. Cucumber is a popular choice for Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) or functional testing, and a visual screenshot comparison tool named Wraith is preferred for performing visual regression testing.

Some BDD frameworks such as JBehave, RSpec, Mocha, Jasmine, Cucumber, among others, embrace the use of this template. Spek is not an exception to this rule. The main difference is that it doesn’t force you to use a concrete assertion framework or additional behavioral files (e.g Cucumber or JBehave).

Just to add, anyone who is curious to learn more about BDD I would recommend checking out the Javascript flavor of Cucumber. It's cool stuff and immensely useful! https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js

And pretty deep into that rabbit hole you get Cucumber and the Gherkin language (https://cucumber.io/); project managers write "natural English" unit tests, but to get them to work, the developers write essentially a chatbot interpreter to process the files and run them.

Cucumber is an automation tool based on the BDD framework, using which you can write automated acceptance tests for web applications in the Gherkin language.

With cucumber you can easily create reusable and extensible test steps. you can also use "Example:" to run the same tests with different data. https://cucumber.io/

Playwright doesn't come with the built-in support for BDD so we are going to use the help of another tool Cucumber

A dev oriented framework: so no Cucumber, FitNess or other BDD Frameworks1

But Cucumber is well-known for its native support for Behavior Driven Development (BDD).

But honestly, it may be preferable for you to use a single framework that does support both technologies (Web and Mobile) out of the box like webdriver.io or codecept.

Extending my screenshot tests, I discovered the useful configuration option to set fullPageScreenshots: true. When I wanted to set different window sizes, I was not the first one struggling to resize the browser window in CodeceptJS programmatically.

There are different tools for visual screenshot testing, like BackstopJS, and Cypress.io also has a screenshot() function. In this series, I focus on writing tests with CodeceptJS.

CodeceptJS – A wrapper for different tools in one interface. Language: JavaScript/TypeScript. Frameworks that are wrapped: Playwright, Webdriver.io, Puppeteer, Protractor, etc. The service also comes with a large community and is easy to install and use for e2e testing.

back when I was doing FE, I found https://codecept.io, which is the same concept as Cypress but with a Playwright driver. Have not used but thought it's worth a mention

Automated runs can be configured using the API. This looks a lot like the command line for synchronizing our tests, but we have to add a the \@testomatio/reporter plugin to our project first and add it to our local CodeceptJS configuration. See the Testomat.io + CodeceptJS documentation for details, and see my GitHub issue: Testomat plugin reports failure #3403 if you don't get a success message on the command line.

There are enough blog posts about Jest or Cypress already, so let me introduce Codecept. It comes in two flavors. There is Codeception for PHP, and there is CodeceptJS for JavaScript which we will be using here.

I think you should add codeceptjs which does API testing on top of selenium / puppeteer tests.

Protractor is dead. Look into Cypress, WebDriverIO, or CodeceptJS

Using a service like BrowserStack you can take your local automation tests to the skies. This is made possible by directing CodeceptJS to point to BrowserStack instead of running locally.
