<h2>Is Protractor actively maintained?</h2>
<div ng-hide="isEOL">
<p>
Although active development on Protractor ended in December of 2022, the project will continue to be supported under <strong>Long Term Support</strong> and will continue to receive critical security &amp; compatibility fixes via the community through August 2023. This is important as there are many actively developed projects still benefiting from their existing code coverage, and we anticipate Protractor to continue functioning well into the future.
</p>
<p>
In short: Protractor's current status is <strong>Long Term Support</strong> and <strong>will End Of Life in September 2023</strong>.

<h2>Protractor Migration Options</h2>
