CYPRESS VS SELENIUM WEBDRIVER:
BETTER, OR JUST DIFFERENT?
"Is Cypress better than Selenium WebDriver? I get asked this a lot. And frankly, the easiest path of a “this vs that” talk is to try and find out which is “best”. But I will not take that path. Instead, I will try and explain how is Cypress different from Selenium WebDriver."
-- Gil Tayar, Sr. Architect @ Applitools
There’s a new claim to the throne of functional test automation tools: Cypress.io.
Is Cypress fast? Yes. Is Cypress interactive? Yep. Is Cypress reliable? You bet. And best of all… it’s cool! But is Cypress an alternative to Selenium WebDriver?
In this webinar, we will not try to take the easy path of "who's better". Instead, Gil will show how is Cypress different from Selenium WebDriver, demonstrate how to write Cypress test, how it’s used, and discuss how these 2 tools differ.
Gil will cover the following topics:
- How and why do frontend developers write tests
- The Selenium architecture
- The Cypress architecture
- Live demo of Cypress
- How does Cypress deal with flakiness
- Cypress and backdoors to development
- Visual testing using Cypress
DATE: Wednesday, Dec 11, 2019
TIME: 9 am PT / 5 pm UTC

EXPERT SPEAKER:
GIL TAYAR
Senior Architect and Evangelist @ Applitools
30 years of experience have not dulled the fascination Gil Tayar has with software development. From the olden days of DOS to the contemporary world of Software Testing, Gil was, is, and always will be, a software developer. He has in the past co-founded WebCollage, survived the bubble collapse of 2000, and worked on various big cloudy projects at Wix.
His current passion is figuring out how to test software, a passion which he has turned into his main job as Evangelist and Senior Architect at Applitools. He has religiously tested all his software, from the early days as a junior software developer to the current days at Applitools, where he develops tests for software that tests software, which is almost one meta layer too many for him.
