Summary

The Canvas element in HTML is a majorly used element for rendering graphics, animations, and interactive content on web pages. Unlike traditional DOM-based validations, the Canvas element's content is not part of the DOM structure, making it challenging to automate its interactions using traditional test automation frameworks like Selenium or Cypress. However, these tools can still be leveraged with JavaScript execution to simulate user actions on Canvas elements. The learnings from this blog post can help developers get started with using Selenium and Cypress for Canvas automation, which is a choice that should be made based on the project and use case requirements.
