Introduction to Cypress and UI Test Automation
Cypress is a next-generation front-end Automation testing tool built for modern web applications. It is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework and is known for faster test execution as compared with other testing tools (like Selenium or Protractor).

Nx 14.5 - Cypess v10, Output globs, Linter perf, React Tailwind support
Protractor has been deprecated for a while on the Angular CLI side and given Nx has had Cypress support for a while it has never been a popular choice. Starting with this release we're deprecating the generator for setting up Protractor and we're planning on removing support entirely in Nx v15.

Angular 12 in Depth
As explained in the announcement, back in 2013 when Protractor was created, WebDriver was not a standard, and end-to-end (e2e) tests were hard to write, and a nightmare to maintain. Protractor brought an innovative solution by wrapping selenium-webdriver, and provided a way to control the execution flow.
In April, the Angular team has announced plans to end the support of Protractor at the end of 2022.

HTML to PDF renderers: A simple comparison
HTML to PDF conversion is a common requirement in modern web applications. It allows users to save web pages, reports, and other content in a format that is easy to share and print. There are many libraries and services available for converting HTML to PDF, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will compare some of the most popular HTML to PDF renderers in Node.js, including Puppeteer, Playwright, node-html-pdf, and Onedoc.

Monitoring your Website End to End with Playwright
Playwright is a Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows you to write scripts to interact with web pages, just like a real user would. You can use it to fill out forms, click buttons, and navigate between pages. It is most commonly used for end-to-end testing of the code-base, but it's also a great tool for monitoring continuously.

Playwright Test Generator
I tend to agree. An example of how it can be net-zero gain is in this screenshot[1]. To have something maintainable, you have to do your own refactoring pass on the generated code. At that point, it's not much effort to write the test yourself than it is to refactor all of the redundancies.

LaVague: Open-source Large Action Model to automate Selenium browsing

Do yourself a favour, use Playwright instead.
It's a headless browser that's both faster and less flaky than Selenium.

Hah yeah that's confusing.
https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro is actually the documentation for pytest-playwright - their pytest plugin.

The Lord of Playwright: The Two Traces
Playwright is the fastest growing web testing framework. Playwright enables end-to-end (E2E) tests to be created by synthetically driving a headless browser session and enabling assertions to verify the system performs as expected. With Playwright traces, you can review a test after the script has run and identify exactly what occurred.
