Selenium is a suite of open-source software tools used for automated testing of web applications. It is primarily used to test web-based applications for performance, functionality, and reliability. It allows for the automation of user interface interactions such as clicking on buttons, entering text, and selecting from menus. Selenium also supports multiple scripting languages, including Java, C#, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript. It can run tests on multiple browsers and platforms simultaneously, and can be integrated with other testing frameworks. It can also be used to generate detailed reports on test results. Selenium is designed to be highly extensible, allowing for custom extensions to be created for specific testing requirements.
Very easy to use while still being powerful. You can even add Selenium code to it if there are certain things it can't do.
This is the best, I wish we could test desktop applications using KATALON as well.
TestCafe has its own browser driver, so it is not just another wrapper around Selenium but a whole new testing framework on its own. It also provides functionality that was never possible with selenium such as testing on remote devices or isolated environments for user roles in a test. It is also just an npm package, so installation and configuration is as easy as typing `npm install testcafe` no more dependencies, no more configuration.
because this tool helps me a lot

It works with screenshots, not xpath selectors. Kantu is much easier to use, especially on modern websites with tons of JavaScript.
