Abstract

Automated tests are designed to verify the functionality of the system at the level of the end-user interface. The article compared popular tools Selenium WebDriver and Protractor. To conduct a comparative analysis tools have been established five benchmarks under which
it was carried out the analytical hierarchy proces. Based on the obtained calculations, conclusions have been drawn regarding which platform is a better choice in terms of testing the application of the Single Page Application.
