Cypress Reviews & Product Details

Cypress Overview

What is Cypress?

Cypress is a front end automated testing tool, created for the modern web. It provides better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Built on an entirely new architecture, Cypress runs in the same run-loop as the application being tested - and it works on any front-end framework or website. The open-source Cypress app handles modern JavaScript frameworks especially well. Cypress Cloud is a hosted service that aggregates and applies powerful intelligence from past Cypress app test runs to support better CI failure debugging workflows, test suite analytics, and intelligent CI orchestration capabilities that improve developer velocity while reducing CI costs.

What do you like best about Cypress?

Test Execution and reporting, Cypress is very fast and in terms of test execution and also provides a great support for using different browsers to run test cases. It very easy to integrate cypress with cucumber and generate report.

Its quite easy to implement test cases in the cypress and add and extend functionality which helps to lower the time of overall maintenance of your automation framework. The support and documentation available for cypress is also very helpful and provides great insights.

We have automated our smoke packs and regression packs which run on daily basis to fetch the health of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cypress?

Cypress is a very user-friendly testing framework for web testing on non-demanding projects with well-structured documentation. Since it uses its own engine for the automation, the tests automated with Cypress are much faster in comparison to the other frameworks. Moreover, Cypress suggests a lot of additional features, including video recording of test runs and time-travel capabilities, significantly speeding up the the development and debugging of the test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Despite its benefits, I believe Cypress may not be optimal for large-scale projects. In my opinion, Cypress is the best option when you need to automate some user scenarios quickly with minimal effort. However, the style of scripting of the test cases in Cypress and also the lack of its built-in support for testing across multiple tabs/windows makes it less suitable for larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cypress solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my opinion, Cypress is the best tool if you need to quickly automate the testing of small and simple web apps. The way Cypress is built and its additional debugging features make the automation process very fast and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cypress?

I first used it when I was working at Amazon. The fact that it was so easily integrated into our systems and used for front end changes testing without actually deploying the code made my life so easy. Being a frontend engineer, the number of times I had to rely on it was uncountable. It was so easy to use and gave a detailed report whenever the test cases were failing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Sometimes it was quite browser dependent, meaning cypress tests didn't run properly on firefox whereas they ran properly on chrome. I guess this was the only problem i faced in my tenure at Amazon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cypress solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of testing the UI changes without actually deploying them again and again reduces the testing time and increases our productivity many folds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cypress?

Cypress is praised for its easy setup, fast test execution, real-time reloading and debugging capabilities, automatic waiting and retrying, excellent documentation and community support, bundled assertion library, and powerful test capabilities. It offers developers an intuitive API, speeds up test runs, simplifies debugging with time-traveling, and automates waiting and retrying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

It has some areas which are need to be improved including limited browser support primarily for Chromium-based browsers, challenges with cross-domain and iframe interactions, occasional difficulties in debugging complex scenarios, and a steeper learning curve for advanced features. However, with an active community and ongoing development, Cypress continues to evolve and address these concerns, making it a valuable testing framework for many developers.
