21. •With Cypress, you can easily create tests for
your modern web applications, debug them
visually, and automatically run them in your
continuous integration builds.
•

23. •On the longer term some changes may
come from this direction
•WebDriver defines a protocol for
introspection and remote control of user
agents. This specification extends WebDriver
by introducing bidirectional
communication. In place of the strict
command/response format of WebDriver,
this permits events to stream from the user
agent to the controlling software, better
matching the evented nature of the browser
DOM.
