help TestCafe FAQ

How is TestCafe different from Selenium?

TestCafe runs on Node.js and uses a URL-rewriting proxy, so ordinary end-to-end tests do not require WebDriver browser plugins. Selenium instead commonly controls browsers through WebDriver implementations.

Does TestCafe wait automatically for page elements?

Yes, automatic waiting is one of TestCafe's main conveniences for end-to-end tests. It can wait for selectors and page actions to become usable, reducing some manual timing code.

Which browsers can TestCafe test?

TestCafe supports major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, with the exact supported versions listed in its documentation. It uses the browsers already installed on the test machine rather than requiring a separate browser plugin.

Can TestCafe run in a continuous integration pipeline?

Yes, TestCafe can be installed as a Node.js project dependency and launched from a package script in CI. Teams commonly run the same test command in environments such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
