Ask HN: Is there a tool to automate front end testing?

2 points by aj_nikhil 2 years ago | 4 comments

I want to automate test cases on web application. Basically a tool that records my actions and then replays them whenever i want it to. I have checked Selenium webdriver but it requires coding and is very difficult to implement(or am I not implementing it properly)? Please suggest.

Its called End to end testing (E2E) and there are plenty of frameworks to do that. For example, cypress.

Idk, I never actually enjoyed it. I prefer unit tests with jest+codecov because it always was enough for me.
