"No excuse anymore for bad Test coverage"

What do you like best about Cypress?

Cypress is a great End-2-End-Testing Environment for Web Applications. New Test Developers can create their own Tests in a very short time. It's enjoyable and easy to use also for complex Web Applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

I am missing the possibility to add extended Header parameters for PATCH Requests. I've found an Open Github Issue about this. I have no doubt that this will be solved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An amazing testing tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

I love the Cypress commitment to simplify the UI testing flow. The documentation is perfect, and it explains wisely why Cypress has been built and what differentiates it from the other market solutions.

I used, for a lot of time, Puppeteer and Selenium in the past and I can tell you that Cypress is a better tool for UI testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

It has too much unclosed issues. Some of them are important Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great e2e development experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

I am a full stack developer, and had some experience trying to implement automation test for mobile and web applications. It was always hard to accomplish, not easy and also not stable at all.

Cypress is great for web developers, its 100% based on js and having some experience with js and jquery, you will be able to write your test with not much problems

Another really good feature is the documentation. In my experience, with my team, we were able to find all the answers to our questions into the docs on the website. Also the issues on github are very well explained Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Not having the support for other browsers than chrome, canary and chromium is the main disadvantage.

I am fine with the support cypress has today, but when working on bigger companies/products that need to support multi browsers and versions is an impediment to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cypress?

Coming from a Selenium background, having intelligent waits based on the chrome dev tools api is unbelievably nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

Can't test across application tabs. There are times when the documentation can be hard to navigate / error messages aren't extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cypress?

Cypress has clear and very helpful documentation, and it often has anything that you'd need to ask about while writing your tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

I haven't personally found best pattern to improve readability of the callbacks and closures. It's great once you have got used to it, but things like querying multiple aliases or wating for many requests could ressemble the familiar callback hell pyramid that could look daunting to many JavaScript developers.

"I love Cypress"
5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

I like writing tests for my interfaces no matter what technology I'm using, if it runs on the web I can test it with Cypress. I also like that I can find a lot of things that would otherwise fail on the user's hands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

It may or not be something I dislike but it could exist more information, documentation or tutorials on how to set up bigger apps, ranging user logins, different backend features, etc ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best service for testing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cypress?

My organization usually deals with the website requirements given by the clients. We require to deliver all tested products so that our client can be happy and reliable on us. Cypress has been very helpful with that to us, the best part is that we can even programmatically handle the UI widgets and it also lets us take control on the network requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cypress?

There is a different custom section also for which a user is required to complete some specific form. I have tried buying a custom package but it took around 3 weeks for them to deliver. I insist that may be they can improve this delivery time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
