Overall Satisfaction with Cypress.io
We are using Cypress.io for end-to-end testing of our web applications. With Cypress.io, we can do both web UI and API testing. Recently, we are also doing visual regression tests with the help of plugins available in Cypress.io. We also use the Cypress.io dashboard for getting insight on the test passing and failing data.
- autimation of end to end testing of web UI and api
- Getting insight on failing and passing tests
- There are a lot of plugins but several of them have many errors. So Cypress.io should work integrating more features so that people should not rely on these plugins. For example, many people use cypress-cucumber-preprocessor and Cypress.io can start by integrating Gherkin support by default so that reliance in plugins are decreased.
- Time travel for debugging failed tests
- Test video and screenshot recorting
- Independent to selenium or other automation tools
- Flaky tests can be caught easily
- Regration testing of application with Cypress.io helps to maintain quality of the software product.
- Appium and TestProject
Cypress.io is easy to start with and is independent of other automation tools. Unless we are looking for automating every edge case, Cypress.io can do it without using any plugins. Also, when a test fails, we can travel back to the state in which the test failed (aka time travel feature of Cypress.io), which makes debugging the failure or reporting the failure easy.
