"Reliable and Fast Tool for Modern Web Automation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

I like that Cypress is very easy to set up and start using. The tests run fast and the live preview helps me debug issues quickly. The best part is that everything runs in the browser so I can actually see what is happening step by step. The documentation is clear and the community support is strong. It works well for modern web apps and gives stable results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

The main downside is that Cypress does not support multiple browser tabs or windows very well. Handling iframes can also be tricky in some cases. Sometimes tests run slower when the app has too many API calls. The tool is focused on JavaScript so teams using other languages may feel limited. Integration with cross browser testing platforms can take extra setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

If you _do_ stumble on a quirk or bug, it can occasionally be slow to get to a resolution. Almost too flexible - lots of ways to achieve the same outcome can lead to inconsistency? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for UI automation"
5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

Test Execution and reporting, Cypress is very fast and in terms of test execution and also provides a great support for using different browsers to run test cases. It very easy to integrate cypress with cucumber and generate report.

Its quite easy to implement test cases in the cypress and add and extend functionality which helps to lower the time of overall maintenance of your automation framework. The support and documentation available for cypress is also very helpful and provides great insights.

We have automated our smoke packs and regression packs which run on daily basis to fetch the health of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automated testing with Cypress"
5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

Cypress is a very user-friendly testing framework for web testing on non-demanding projects with well-structured documentation. Since it uses its own engine for the automation, the tests automated with Cypress are much faster in comparison to the other frameworks. Moreover, Cypress suggests a lot of additional features, including video recording of test runs and time-travel capabilities, significantly speeding up the the development and debugging of the test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Despite its benefits, I believe Cypress may not be optimal for large-scale projects. In my opinion, Cypress is the best option when you need to automate some user scenarios quickly with minimal effort. However, the style of scripting of the test cases in Cypress and also the lack of its built-in support for testing across multiple tabs/windows makes it less suitable for larger projects.

The best part is that its simple to learn. Doesn't has a UI that overwhelm you, moreover I love their documentation. Its clear and concise.

Another great thing is that its perfectly integrated with Node.js and also that we do not need any third party driver to install it makes it very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cypress overview- the good and the bad"
5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

I first used it when I was working at Amazon. The fact that it was so easily integrated into our systems and used for front end changes testing without actually deploying the code made my life so easy. Being a frontend engineer, the number of times I had to rely on it was uncountable. It was so easy to use and gave a detailed report whenever the test cases were failing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Sometimes it was quite browser dependent, meaning cypress tests didn't run properly on firefox whereas they ran properly on chrome. I guess this was the only problem i faced in my tenure at Amazon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
