So let me start with an apology for that and this article is in return to that question, based on my understanding of the concept. I believe this article will help you to understand the concept & moreover gives some ideas on “How to keep our Tests relevant“.

Test management is an important aspect of software testing. Tools for test management are used to organize testing activities, report the progress of QA activities and maintain information on how testing is done. Test management tools in software testing help teams create and manage their test cases by providing the right features and functionalities. There are both proprietary and open-source test management tools available. Each tool has its pros and cons.

Cypress is an open-source end-to-end testing framework that is used for web applications. It is a JavaScript-based testing tool that is designed to make testing web applications easy and efficient. Cypress is built on top of Mocha, a popular JavaScript test framework, and it uses Chai for assertions. On the other side, Microsoft’s Playwright is a relatively new open-source test automation framework.

Following is a transcription of the AMA session with Rahul Parwal on the topic – Bug Advocacy.
