Handling Dynamic Waits in Cypress Automation Tool
summary
Shows how Cypress replaces hard waits by using cy.wait with alias for XHR calls, capturing the /entries API and asserting status 200 before interacting with the page. Demonstrates overriding default timeouts with explicit millisecond values, registering XHRs as aliases, then waiting for the API to resolve and clicking the laptop button only after the response arrives. Claims this eliminates flaky timing issues and the demo scripts reliably succeed where fixed 10s waits fail. avoid hard-coded waits
