Overview
CodeceptJS is multi-backend testing framework. It can execute tests using different libraries like webdriverio, Puppeteer, Protractor, etc. Note that these libraries need to be installed separately - they are not included in the CodeceptJS package.
CodeceptJS is an acceptance testing framework. In the diversified world of JavaScript testing libraries it aims to create a unified high level API for end-to-end testing, powered by different backends.
CodeceptJS allows you to write a test and switch in config execution drivers: will it be wedriverio, puppeteer, or protractor depends on you. This way you aren't be bound to implementation, and your acceptance tests will work no matter which framework is running them.
CodeceptJS contains helpers that talk to drivers. The drivers control a browser, usually in headless mode - which means that the browser window is not visible while the test is running.
You need to install Node and Node Package Manager (NPM) CodeceptJS A browser A suitable driver (webdriver, puppeteer, protractor, nightmare)
You need to provide a web page to test a test script
CodeceptJS takes care of connecting your test script to the browser through a helper and its corresponding driver.
