Cypress vs Courgette: What are the differences?
What is Cypress? Better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Cypress is a front end automated testing application created for the modern web. Cypress is built on a new architecture and runs in the same run-loop as the application being tested. As a result Cypress provides better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Cypress works on any front-end framework or website.
What is Courgette? A simple UI testing for all the team. Test your Web and Native Mobile Apps. It is a Selenium-based UI Testing Framework written in JS that’s built on top of Cucumber with Protractor for desktop / hybrid apps and Cucumber with WDIO and appium for native mobile apps.
Cypress and Courgette can be primarily classified as "Javascript Testing Framework" tools.
