1. Playwright: It is an open-source JavaScript-based test automation framework. In addition to JavaScript, it also offers testing in Python, Java and C#. Except for Internet Explorer, all the other major browsers are supported by playwright and it can be used for both mobile and desktop testing. The disadvantage of playwright is that it is still at a nascent stage and upon that it does not have established frameworks and much integration. It is developer-friendly and requires manual integration with test frameworks such as Jest. Jasmine or Mocha. 2. Cypress: In recent years, cypress is considered to be one of the most popular JavaScript automation testing frameworks. Front-end developers can use this tool with ease. It can test both the front-end and a little bit of back-end. It is considered to be the best tool for those developers that work with Node and JavaScript on both client and server sides. If the typical testing demands need to be fulfilled, then Cypress is the tool to go for as it is a robust JavaScript test automation framework. It supports three major browsers that are Chrome, Firefox and Edge. 3. TestCafe: This test automation framework is simple and easy to use. For the purpose of testing, both Typescript and JavaScript languages are used. TestCafe supports all the major browsers such as Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge and Chrome. When it comes to browser-based mobile applications, it provides limited support. Upon that, it only supports client-side applications. It is also considered an end-to-end regression testing framework. If any client-side JavaScript programs need to be tested on a mobile or desktop device, then TestCafe is a feasible option to go for. 4. WebdriverIO: This JavaScript test automation framework supports both native mobile and browser testing. Testing can be automated for a wide range of applications running in any mobile operating system or popular browser, and it is also considered to be extendable. A wide range of testing demands is handled by this tool and thus it makes it an excellent framework. It can easily be integrated with Cucumber, Jasmine and Mocha and it takes only a few npm instructions for the entire setup. 5. Puppeteer: It is a test automation framework that provides desktop application testing. It supports Chrome and Chromium. With collaboration between Mozilla engineers and the Puppeteer team, the Firefox nightly versions are compatible with this tool. For chrome and Chromium developers, Puppeteer is considered to be one of the best test automation frameworks. Keyboard inputs, form submission and automated UI testing are done easily. Using the timeline trace, the performance issues can also be easily diagnosed. Testing chrome extensions is fully supported by this tool and upon that it can easily generate PDFs and screenshots of webpages.
