What is Cypress?

Cypress is a modern, open-source end-to-end testing framework built specifically for web applications. It allows developers and QA engineers to write and run tests directly in the browser, providing fast, reliable, and easy-to-understand testing workflows.

Key Features of Cypress:
  1. 1

    Runs in the browser: Cypress executes tests inside the browser, giving real-time control over application behavior.

  2. 2

    Automatic waiting: No need for manual wait—Cypress waits for elements to appear and actions to complete.

  3. 3

    Time travel: Cypress shows a visual step-by-step history of your test in the UI test runner.

  4. 4

    Real-time reloads: Tests re-run automatically as you save them.

  5. 5

    Powerful debugging: With built-in developer tools and readable errors.
