Protractor

Reasons to use Protractor

• One of the main reasons to use a tool like Protractor is so that you can test your application in multiple browsers.

Prerequisites to getting Protractor to work locally:

Protractor provides a wrapper around WebDriverJS, the JavaScript bindings for Selenium Webdriver, to run end to end tests against an AngularJS application running live in a browser.

You will need Chrome and Java JDK installed.

• npm install -g protractor
• webdriver-manager update
• webdriver-manager start
• Leave the webdriver server running. Open another tab and run gulp e2e

Interactive Mode

A great way to play around with Protractor is to use the interactive element explorer. Check out elementor.
