Scoop.it vs Cypress

I have been using Scoop.it continuously since February 2011 and have watched it evolve into the great curation platform it is today. I have just been provided access to a Beta of V5 which on early examination, looks like it will take the platform to another level for serious content curators. My single Scoop.it topic (Business Improvement) has attracted 118,000 followers from the business community throughout the English speaking world. As a management consultant working primarily with small to medium businesses, I have found Scoop.it an invaluable tool for discovering, sharing and storing great content that my followers and clients can use to improve their businesses.

Scoop.it is not your set and forget curation tool. You need to spend time on the platform to make it work for you. It won't be of much use if you don't give it time. All the best.

It makes content curation super simple and quick and if you're willing to go with the premium options it only gets better. If you can choose a Ford Escort or A Ford Mustang GT the differences between pricing tiers is big but totally worth it.

I am working with Cypress for over 3 years. This framework is reliable, fast, and user-friendly. Failed tests debugging is enjoyable with a detailed open mode console. The amount of functionalities is amazing and its usage usually is just as simple as entering one or two methods. Each test is recorded/screenshotted if failed. Adaptation to users' needs is vast - multiple configs if needed, different types of tests (frontend, API), a huge amount of open-source plugins ready to work within two terminal commands, and much more. Documentation, as well as customer support, help greatly with all problems and questions. In 95%, if you have a bug, somewhere there is a solution. However, Cypress has some downsides, like a lack of native parallelization support (which needs an external cloud). Some functionalities (because of the framework architecture) are not supported (iframes) or resolved in a strange way (real mouse hover). Also, the structure of the tests (cy.get...) may be confusing at the start, especially since it is completely different from Selenium syntax. To sum up this review, Cypress is an amazing piece of code, that helped me greatly through the years. It has some specific problems and a unique structure, but when understood and used correctly it is extremally powerful and can be widely implemented to handle apps testing.

A really revolutional tool for web testing. We have integrated cypress tests with our application deployment pipeline. We couldn't do it before with our Selenium tests because of their flakiness.

They are active in the Atlanta development community which I really appreciate. They have made a great product and they continue to listen to what users want.
