What is Cypress?

Cypress is a popular open-source , end-to-end and UI testing framework that simplifies and speeds up testing. It supports writing tests in JavaScript or TypeScript, eliminates the need for Selenium, and offers a comprehensive environment ideal for evaluating ERP products. Its flexibility and community-driven customization enhance its usability.

Features

Cross-Browser Testing:

Cypress supports multiple browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, allowing you to test across different environments.

Support for Modern JavaScript:

Cypress supports modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries out of the box, including React, Angular, Vue, and others.

Real-Time Browser Preview:

Cypress provides a real-time preview of your application and the tests running against it. This helps you see exactly what’s happening during test execution.

Automatic Waiting:

Cypress automatically waits for elements to appear, animations to complete, and XHR requests to finish, reducing the need for manual wait commands.

Screenshots, Videos, and Test Replay:

View screenshots taken automatically on failure, or videos, if enabled, of your entire test suite when run from the CLI. Record to [Cypress Cloud] and replay the test as it executed during the run for zero-configuration debugging using [Test Replay].

Cypress supports various types of testing

• End-to-End (E2E) Testing.
• Integration Testing.
• Unit Testing.
• API Testing.
