Protractor has been a staple of Angular E2E testing since the beginning, but news of its deprecation saw it being removed from the Angular library in Version 15. With so many Angular applications still using Protractor for E2E tests, Endbridge is a tool that developers might reach for to bridge the gap between the legacy Protractor tools and more modern tools like Cypress. Joe Eames joins us in this episode to talk about how we can decide when tests are worth changing, when they should be left alone, and when a tool like Endbridge might be appropriate.

Hydration is the process of taking a pre-rendered static HTML file and turning it into a fully functional interactive SPA by attaching JavaScript event listeners and state management. This allows for faster initial page load times and improved search engine optimization (SEO) while still retaining the benefits of a SPA. Currently, Angular performs hydration by destroying and rebuilding the entire DOM. This works, but it's not ideal. In this episode we welcome Ben Holmes to the show to learn about Astro. Astro is a modern static site builder and development framework that enables developers to create high-performance websites and applications. Ben shows us how this includes features like automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and preloading to improve website performance and user experience.
