Can protractor test an already deployed Angular application?

Question

I am working on an Angular application that is deployed as a component within another web application. It relies on REST apis of the parent application. Can protractor be configured to run against an already deployed application or would I be better off using Selenium directly for e2e testing?

Answer 1

Yes it can. Look at the Protractor docs, they are shown to be testing the AngularJS site: https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md#writing-tests
