AWS Device Farm vs. Cypress.io

AWS Device Farm is perfect for small teams who don't have enough resources to conduct large scale testing scenarios or even large teams who would like an easier time with testing on various devices. [AWS] Device Farm makes it very easy to interact with a multitude of devices right from the browser.

Everything web-based should be testable. Even our highly dynamic content-providing web application works well. Hopefully, it will get a bigger user base in the future so that one can find even more support at StackOverflow or similar forums.

• 100% compatibility with the installed user base. No simulation, but real results.
• Integration with Jenkins and other CI/CD tools.
• A considerable amount of device types available. Again, real devices in the cloud!

Incentivized

• Cypress automatically waits for DOM elements before interacting dev, this eliminates adding explicits waits in your code.
• Has built-in recording and debugging tool.
• Cypress has executions faster since you can update your code in the fly.
• Very easy to configure / setup

• To be Frank, I have not found any room where it needs to improve. As whatever we used, It is useful for us

Incentivized

• There are a lot of plugins but several of them have many errors. So Cypress.io should work integrating more features so that people should not rely on these plugins. For example, many people use cypress-cucumber-preprocessor and Cypress.io can start by integrating Gherkin support by default so that reliance in plugins are decreased.

Highly satisfied and [a] big fan.

We had the enterprise support with AWS, so overall support experience was good with great engineers on the back providing answers. As you may know, overall AWS support is different and this is not different. Responses through the regular web support channel came easily, fast and accurate. We had questions/issues which were solved fast. Documentation is good as well, especially around the test automation pieces.

We haven't used anything like AWS Device Farm before. I am familiar with Amazon Web Services and when we had our MVP ready to test, we turned to AWS for a solution. AWS Device Farm was exactly what we were looking for as we have a really small team and limit resources.

Execution speed and interactive debugging tool is very easy. you can make changes in the fly and test will run automatically, thus saving more time debugging your code. Can easily be intergrated to to CI/CD pipeline

Incentivized

• It impact more and more. Not in terms of ROI but in time as well

Incentivized

• Flaky tests can be caught easily
• Regration testing of application with Cypress.io helps to maintain quality of the software product.
