Ship Web Apps Confidently: End-to-End Testing with Cypress
summary
Cypress is an open source E2E tool you install with npm that gives a desktop runner plus CLI, runs inside the browser and snapshots the DOM so you can time travel through each command. Tests use the cy global, support custom commands and the task command to clear or seed databases, and stub network calls with cy.server/cy.route and fixtures. CI runs record video and the dashboard does parallelization — a 970-test suite drops from ~23 minutes to under 4 with six machines (~83% faster).
