Changes for Angular v12

Changes for Angular v12

Starting in version 12, the Angular team deprecated Protractor as the official end-to-end testing tool for Angular projects. Shortly after the release of version 16, the Angular team will no longer support Protractor at all, and they recommend all projects use an alternative. Angular now comes with built-in support for Cypress, Nightwatch, and WebdriverIO. You can add any of these to your project by using Angular's command line tool. You can also use Playwright by following the official migration guide on Playwright's website. If you'd rather continue using protractor, the Angular team recommends switching to the never-ending support version available from a group called HeroDevs. HeroDevs specialize in supporting older software, no longer in active development, and they plan to maintain Protractor for as long as needed. Check out Angular's official website for the most up-to-date info on using end-to-end testing in your project.
