Capabilities

Cypress is a modern and complete end-to-end testing framework that aims at unifying web app testing regardless of the programming language used. It works on all platforms and all browsers. Cypress also provides an integrated development environment (IDE) that you load up in your browser. Cypress can be used for both integration and unit testing. Cypress tests are written in JavaScript and run in a real browser. It uses an event-based architecture that hooks into Google Chrome’s lifecycle events, enabling it to wait for things like Ajax requests to complete without using a polling/timeout mechanism. This leads to reliable and fast tests. You can think of Cypress.io as the Redux of automated testing, with features like time travel, current and previous state diff-ing, live code reloading, and much more. You can even use all the debugging tools you know and love with Chrome (even installing additional tools like React Dev Tools and Redux Dev Tools).
