Authentication Showdown: Cypress vs Rest Assured vs Postman - Who Rules the Cookie Kingdom?
Suriya Prakash

In the wild west of web application security, cookie-based authentication reigns supreme. But when it comes to taming this beast, developers face a showdown: Cypress, the UI automation gunslinger, or Rest Assured, the API sharpshooter or Postman, the user friendly explorer. All three boast impressive arsenals, but who truly rules the cookie kingdom?

Join me as I'll unravel the mysteries of cookie capture, session management, and automated login flows. Witness code-slinging demos as we crack open common authentication challenges encountered in real-world scenarios.

Uncover:
1. Speed vs. Stability: Can Cypress's blazing tests compete with Rest Assured's granular API control?
2. Integration & Versatility: Which tool plays nice with your existing framework and handles diverse authentication setups?

By the end of this session, you'll be equipped to declare your own champion in the battle for cookie-based authentication mastery. So saddle up, partners, and let's see who truly deserves the crown!
