Summary

In this chapter, we learned how TestCafe works under the hood. We got acquainted with the architecture of TestCafe, saw how it performs on client and server sides, and learned about the strategies for selecting elements, actions, assertions, roles, and custom client-side code.

All of this will be used in the upcoming chapters to write our own suite of end-to-end tests. In addition to that, you can always use this chapter as a reference to search for any particular method or assertion and see how it's called and what it does.

Now, let's move on from the main methods and functions of TestCafe to more practical aspects, such as setting up the testing environment for our future automated tests.
