Quick Setup (< 1 hour)
You can use Cypress to write, execute, and debug automated tests for modern web applications. It executes tests directly in the browser, showing you each step in real time as your application renders. You can inspect failures using standard browser developer tools, capture snapshots of DOM states, and record user interactions to generate test scripts. It also runs across continuous integration environments to catch regressions, track flaky tests, check accessibility standards, and verify front-end components before shipping code to production.
