Features

Browser Automation - Provides a WebDriver-based system for automating user interactions and verifying frontend behavior in web browsers.
Angular Application Testing - Provides specialized locators and synchronization tools specifically aligned with the Angular framework lifecycle.
User Interaction Simulation - Simulates human behavior by replicating user inputs and native browser events to verify end-to-end application flows.
Automatic Synchronization - Implements automatic synchronization to wait for page tasks and network requests, ensuring stable test execution.
Automated End-to-End Testing - Automates full user journeys across the application to verify system-wide functional correctness.
End-to-End Testing Frameworks - Implements a comprehensive framework using the WebDriver protocol to validate entire application stacks.
Web Testing Frameworks - Utilizes user-facing locators and automation mechanisms to verify web application functionality.
Integration Testing Suites - Provides a framework for running integrated tests that synchronize with page tasks for stable browser execution.
Framework-Aware Locators - Offers specialized locators tailored to different frontend framework architectures for more reliable element identification.
Framework-Specific Locators - Uses specialized search strategies to locate application components across various frontend architectures.
Promise-Based Flow Wrappers - Uses promise-based wrappers to manage asynchronous browser commands in a sequential execution model.
UI Automation - Simulates human behaviors such as clicking, dragging, and dropping to verify user interface responsiveness.
Mouse Action Simulations - Provides capabilities to simulate complex mouse interactions like dragging and dropping elements to verify user interface functionality.
Regression Testing Suites - Verifies that new code changes do not break existing UI functionality across different browser environments.
JavaScript Execution Bridges - Provides a bridge to execute custom JavaScript directly within the browser context and retrieve results.
Browser Scripting Tools - Executes custom JavaScript functions directly in the browser to retrieve page values or manipulate state.
Browser Automation - E2E test framework for Angular apps.
