What is Cypress automation?

Cypress is an open source end-to-end test automation framework written in JavaScript and based on Mocha and Chai. With Cypress you can automate tests on browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Brave & Edge family. Cypress is known for easy to set up, faster test execution, debugging capabilities and an active community.

What Languages & Frameworks does Cypress support?

Unlike Selenium, Cypress testing can be done only in javascript programming language and supports Mocha JS test framework. However, Cypress tests anything that runs in the context of a browser. It is back end, front end, language and framework agnostic. You’ll write your tests in JavaScript, but beyond that Cypress works everywhere.

Is Cypress good for API Automation?

It is crucial to test APIs in addition to E2E (End-to-End) user interface tests. Cypress allows us to easily make HTTP requests (see Request() ) for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE API endpoints.

Is Cypress better than Selenium?

Cypress supports only JavaScript whereas Selenium supports all programming language. Cypress browser support is also limited as compared to Selenium. However, Cypress helps in faster test execution and is more developer-friendly in comparison to Selenium.
