"Overall experience was good"
3.5/5
What do you like best about TestCafe?

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.

What do you dislike about TestCafe?

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.

"Cypress Vs TestCafe"
4/5
What do you like best about TestCafe?

Easy & Quick to setup acceptances test that works on all major browsers including Safari.

I worked on Cypress framework earlier, but the limitation there was it didn't supported Safari browser, that was the reason, I started to explore TestCafe.

Ever since, I switched to TestCafe, I found it quite simple to write and maintain the automation suit.

Also CI/CD was easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestCafe?

TestCafe only supports JavaScript, I our team we had testers who could work on Java, so I needed to teach them JavaScript and crazy async stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not much useful for automation"
1.5/5
What do you like best about TestCafe?

Don't find anything the best. Useless tool for automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestCafe?

Automation with testcafe takes a lot of time . Struggled a lot to integrate with cucumber. Finding locators is a nightmare. The same task can be done with selenium with 1/3rd of the time. Testcafe reports are the worst.there are so many bugs in the tool itself which makes horrible to automate. Support for this tool is the worst, u dont get proper support.
