Protractor is an end-to-end test framework specifically designed for Angular and AngularJS applications. It runs tests against your application running in a real browser, interacting with it as a user would. Protractor is built on top of WebDriverJS and includes important features that address several challenges encountered when testing Angular applications. These features include automatic waiting for AngularJS to finish rendering before each test, and easy synchronization with Angular's built-in $$http$$ and $$timeout$$ services, which helps in managing asynchronous operations[5][8][9][11].
Protractor supports behavior-driven development (BDD) frameworks like Jasmine and Mocha, allowing you to write tests in a style that is easy to read and maintain. It integrates well with Jasmine by default, providing functions to describe test suites and test cases using describe() and it() functions[8][9].
Additionally, Protractor provides Angular-specific locator strategies, which make it easier to select elements in an Angular application. These locators include methods for selecting elements by Angular model, binding, etc., which are not available in Selenium WebDriver. This makes Protractor a preferred choice for...
