Cypress provides fast, reliable E2E testing with time travel debugging and real-time reloading. Chromium-only for a long time but now supports Firefox and WebKit.

Wasp uses a simple DSL to define full-stack web apps — routes, auth, background jobs, email. Compiles to React + Node.js + Prisma. Configuration over code.
Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
