TestCafe has nice console output for test failures that shows which assertion failed, in context.

No external libraries or plugins required.

Built-in waiting mechanism.

Run tests on remote computers or mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No Browser Control

Browsers executed in TestCafe are not aware that they run in test mode. So at some edges automation control can be broken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Approach on selecting the Elements. Best as it is similar to react testing library. So Unit testing and automation both having a similar approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instability at times. Most of the cases there is a CI failure due to some element not detected. And that happens sporadically. And debugging thatbis painful as the nature is sporadic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No worries on managing webdrivers. Auto wait time page load. Good inbuilt debugger. Very light weighted calls and fast execution. Most important very easy to setup. And currently I m running it through Jenkins as service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's need little effort on switching between tabs and mobile testing need QR code intervention Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to automate on, it uses Nodejs as codebase which is easy to code in. There is a great community support with Testcafe, you can test automation in different cross browser.

Add breakpoints to test the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Testcafe only supports JavaScript, so if you are not comfortable using JavaScript, you need to know the language and syntax well before using Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility and versatility. Testcafe has served well in letting us design a test suite in the way we want. The range of features available has been enough to design our test suite in the way we want. It can also integrate with other testing frameworks, such as visual testing, which has also been helpful for our company. The execution time is quick and allows for intentional delays as well.

Learning it was also relatively easy (as the development team had a general background in Javascript). The documentation made it easy to setup and was decent at listing the available features and helping to debug errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of documentation about more obscure errors and such. It can be hard to find the cause behind some errors; sometimes it seems that exceptions occur for no reason. We had a problem with the brotli module that interrupted tests at random intervals and seemed to have no available solution. If a similar problem occurs in the future then it will very difficult to you to debug it.

The Testcafe IDE they provide is somewhat limited as it only generates linear scripts, instead ones that could conform to the more advanced models such as the page model. What it chooses for HTML selectors can be overly long at times, too. It also becomes somewhat obsolete if you know how to search for HTML selectors by yourself.

It's reliable and stable, allows accessing shadow dom element. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could use some more work on reporting, Gherkin support, reading downloaded files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As its has record and play functionality its easy to use and fast as we don't need to find all the selectors. This tool is good for fresher or manual tester who wants to start with automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Please increase support in term of detail documentation and functionality use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently few issue we are facing while doing multiple iinstances of different browser, but i am sure we will hvae the work around once we explore in depth.

Lack of community documetnation , that need to imporved as the population of using htis framework is increasing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy tool for understating for making a quick step by step automation recording Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need more features and integration abilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most that I am able to use async/await and DOM objects.

I also liked that I can use the runner together with other JS test solutions like postman or node-fetch.

Working with Mocha and Chai is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The test crashed/hanged sometimes with no error.

Many failures/errors do not have proper logging to be able to get to the issue.

I tried using TestCafe and Newman runner async and some strange error occurred, and I needed to change a source file to make a workaround.

Opening new pages that require authentication was not working.

Handling scrolling was pretty painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
