Can Protractor be used to test any non AngularJS application?

If I have a web application written in eg Ember / backbone, can I use a protractor to test it? Is there an advantage over testing with WebdriverJS?

Yes of course. The protractor is essentially a wrapper around the selenium webdriver for JavaScript (WebDriverJS) - so you get all the features of selenium - along with some additions and improvements that are definitely worth your time. Grunted - You get more from Protractor if you test an AngularJS app, but there is still a lot of good stuff for the rest of JavaScript apps.

I modified and posted a blog post to answer your question - see here:

Please note that this post does not provide a complete way. I'll go into more detail on how to overcome the bootstrap issue in future posts. A good place to start is here: http://ng-learn.org/2014/02/Protractor_Testing_With_Angular_And_Non_Angular_Sites/
