Cypress is a javascript-based testing automation solution utilized for web automation. It allows frontend developers and test engineers to use the default web language that is javascript for writing test scripts. It has advanced testing options for unit tests, integration tests, API tests, and end-to-end tests. It has many advanced features like running tests in the browser, video recordings, asynchronous testing, etc.
To achieve optimal browser coverage, Cypress frameworks enable running tests in parallel which is not possible in local setup testing. It gives the visual interface to check if the test commands execute successfully, passed, or failed. Cypress is known for fast test execution typically with a response time of less than 20 MS.
Features of Cypress Test automation framework
Time Travel
Cypress saves screenshots while the test runs. It makes it easy for frontend developers to check what happens at each stage of testing.
Easy To Set Up An Interface
Cypress framework is easy to set up which makes testing fast and efficient. It overcomes the need for manual synchronization as it waits for the command to finish before starting the following command.
Run In The Browser
Since the test code runs in the browser, it makes it much faster to run test suites. Driver binaries are not needed in cypress and execution takes place in a real browser. It makes it easy to modify the browser behavior at run time and change code and execute the same on the fly.
Appealing Cypress Dashboard Interface
Dashboard support is available for detailed reporting. Here, developers can access all the test recordings that they have run.
Video Recording
Cypress has a feature of video recording and screenshots to record a video of running tests.
Fast Testing and Friendly Framework For Developers
The time needed to write all the web application tests is less because all the tests are written in javascript. It provides full control over the application being tested as application code and automated code share the same platform.
Advantages of Cypress
- Open Source
- JavaScript-based testing framework
- Reliable and easy testing
- Parallel testing
- Faster results
- Debugging Capabilities
- Simple API
What Distinguishes Cypress from Selenium?
Selenium and Cypress, both are automation frameworks for web app testing. Selenium works in multiple languages like java, C#, Python, and javascript whereas Cypress works only in javascript. In cypress, it takes a few minutes to run the test and in selenium, it takes more time. The way cypress makes test code run fast is that code itself runs in the browser so it can do automation quickly like finding elements, obtaining texts of an element, etc.
