Cypress Insights

What is Cypress?

Cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that makes front-end testing easier and faster. It's designed for modern web applications and allows developers to write tests directly in JavaScript. Cypress is commonly used to test anything that runs in a browser, providing a more reliable and user-friendly testing experience compared to traditional testing tools.
