How does Cypress differ from Selenium?
← All Cypress questions
Re-explain
Cypress:
- Runs inside the browser alongside your application
- JavaScript/TypeScript only
- Faster execution due to direct browser access
- Built-in waiting and retry logic
- Limited to Chromium-based browsers and Firefox
- Better debugging capabilities with time travel
Selenium:
- Runs outside the browser, communicates via WebDriver
- Supports multiple programming languages
- Cross-browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, Edge)
- Requires explicit waits and manual retry logic
- More complex setup and maintenance
