Welcome to the 55th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐
With the continued adoption of automated testing strategies, many organizations are re-evaluating their current test automation tools. It is no secret that Selenium has been a popular option among test automation engineers for a long time, with over 10 million users worldwide.

The recent download trends of Selenium and Cypress indicate that Cypress is rapidly catching up with Selenium WebDriver.
This edition explores the answer to the question - Is Selenium still the right choice for Test Automation? and much more.
