Tests run quickly
Supports all major browsers including ie11. (chrome, chrome:headless, firefox, safari, ie11) with a simple CLI parameter
Has an officially listed @testing-library/testcafe package, this API mirrors the @testing-library/react API and provides selectors that help you interact with the web page as a user would, this massively helps ensuring your website is accessible too with selectors like getByLabelText
Supports browserstack
Console output to help debug test issues is stellar
Supports concurrency with a simple CLI parameter
Only requires a single package to get up and running with all browsers
- An additional package for the @testing-library selectors
- An additional package for browserstack support
- An additional package for reporting website generation
Supports chrome mobile emulation by specifying the mobile browser for chrome to emulate
