Cypress is built on top of Mocha, a feature-packed JavaScript browser test framework. Cypress also utilizes BDD/TDD assertion library and can be paired with any JS framework.

• Django

  Django is an open-source web framework based on Python used mostly in the application development due to its templates, libraries and APIS. The main focus of Django is allowing developers to focus on implementing new features instead of constantly reviewing old ones.
