Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications. It is built on top of WebDriverJS and is designed to automate interactions with web applications to ensure they function correctly. Protractor provides a familiar testing syntax for Angular developers and offers features like automatic waiting, page synchronization, and built-in support for Angular-specific elements like ng-model and ng-bind.
Compared to other testing frameworks like Selenium, Protractor simplifies the testing process for Angular applications by handling Angular-specific tasks seamlessly. It also integrates well with tools like Jasmine and Mocha for test reporting and assertion capabilities.
