Cypress.io – the State of the Art End-to-end Testing Tool
summary
Shows Cypress writing real end-to-end tests that control network requests, run visual diffs via Percy or Applitools plugins, and integrate with CI to run on every commit. Demonstrates a code coverage plugin that instruments browser and Node backends with NYC so a single E2E test can cover large swaths of app code (one test hits ~72.5%) and combined tests reach 99.26% coverage. Builds checkpoints to split long flows and generates tests from finite state machines.
