Overview

Cypress is an open source tool for test automation that is used for functional testing of user interfaces. It is particularly useful for regression testing when the software solution is stable. The tool is used by both the Engineering and Product teams, and it is recommended to allocate enough resources for QA Analysts to effectively use Cypress.

Benefits

The benefits of using Cypress for test automation include:

• Open-source tool for functional testing of user interfaces

• Particularly useful for regression testing when the solution is stable

• Used by both Engineering and Product teams

• Requires sufficient allocation of resources for QA analysts

Configuration

We are using the open-source version of Cypress, which is used by both Engineering and Product teams for functional testing over the user interface. It is particularly great for regression testing when the solution is stable enough, and it requires a significant allocation of resources for QA Analysts,

Cypress offers the following advantages compared to other test automation tools:

• Open-source nature

• Usage by both Engineering and Product teams

• Suitability for functional and regression testing of user interfaces

• Need for significant allocation of resources for QA Analysts
