On 24th April 2021, Angular announced the deprecation of their E2E testing tool protractor. It was unclear if there will be a successor or if Angular delegates this to its users. In this article, I will provide a short overview over the differences between the various E2E frameworks, and argue why you should use Cypress.

I’ve heard nothing but high praise of Cypress and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Gleb Bahmutov when he joined us on JS Party.

[XSM] consists of a global store and the machinary to re-render the component when the state is updated. The store is just a JavaScript object with key and value pairs. By binding the instance reference, this, to the store, each component can react to the changes of the store whether it is re-render or unmount. It is really this simple, no need to use HOC, provider, reducer, decorator, observer, action, dispatcher, etc. Hence, all the three most popular framewokrs work the same way in XSM and that’s why we can keep the code size very small and support the three frameworks without framework specific modules.

Works out of the box with Angular, React, and Vue.
