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.

HipTest is good and helpful to create and run functional regressions but it is more complicated to use this tool to create and run API testing scenarios (it does not mean it can not be done). This tool is definitively not appropriate for running performance testing scenarios.

  • 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.

Cons
Cypress.io Inc
  • 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.

  • UX is not too obvious and easy (like generating a data table in a scenario or including a scenario in a test run) but you can get used to it relatively easy by playing around with the options, also the documentation is helpful.
  • To get extra functionalities you have to pay for them separately.

The tool includes a basic but complete documentation that can be very helpful to get started using the tool. The UX sometimes does not feel very easy to understand but after some use you can get familiar without reading the documentation. The webinars are not very useful for using the tool, I have seen a couple of them and they are actually focused on promoting their HipTest product to new users instead of being useful and educational for current users.
