What We Learned at VueConf USA 2024

Our very own Jordan Powell attended VueConf USA 2024 in New Orleans, marking his first time in the city and his first time speaking at the conference. Here's what he learned from this incredible experience: Advancements in AI and Testing Jordan delivered a talk titled "AI and the Future of Testing," exploring AI and Testing from a philosophical perspective. He discussed Cypress’s testing philosophy and its implications for generative AI in testing, demonstrating three examples of using genera

Update on Cypress’s Workforce

Cypress reduced our team by 11 employees as part of a strategic move to accelerate our timeline to cash flow break-even (CFBE), strengthen our position for Series C funding, and support the long-term sustainability of Cypress. Despite these changes, our mission, vision, and strategy remain steadfast. We remain committed to giving organizations unparalleled insights into application quality through Cypress Cloud features like Test Replay and new products such as Cypress Accessibility and UI Cov

Understanding Selectors in Frontend Development and Cypress Testing

This blog delves into the intricacies of selectors, the challenges of traversing the DOM, and the importance of selector stability, with a special focus on the Cypress frontend testing framework.

[Update] Why Cypress decided to block Currents.dev and Sorry Cypress

TL;DR * Cypress introduced targeted blocking for projects and other libraries relying on the 3rd party NPM module: cypress-cloud in v13 and, as of today, v12. * The decision to implement blocking was a final measure, taken only after sincere and dedicated attempts spanning multiple months to explore and exhaust alternative options. * Our actions are in response to a multi-year pattern of behavior from Sorry-Cypress and Currents.dev, who inappropriately leveraged our brand and products to cr

Changes in defense of Cypress Intellectual Property

💡Please note that we've published a follow on blog post with more details as to why we made the decision described below. Read the newer post here. Starting with version 13 of the Cypress app, Cypress will begin enforcing data recording restrictions that block certain third-party products and services in order to protect our intellectual property. The vast majority of our user base including the broader Cypress ecosystem will see no impact from these changes. Cypress was founded 9 years ago t

Announcing Cypress 13 with Test Replay!

Cypress 13 is here, featuring Test Replay! Interact with tests as they occurred during Continuous Integration (CI).

Move Your Protractor Tests to Cypress Faster with the Cypress Migrator

We’ve created an educational tool to help you visualize and learn the differences between Protractor and Cypress APIs to move your tests over more rapidly: the Cypress Migrator! The tool is a hands-on playground where you can easily paste in code snippets from Protractor to see what they look like in Cypress. It is worth noting that since there are major differences in the way Protractor code and Cypress code are written, it’s not intended, at this time, to be a tool that would transform entire

New for Cypress Cloud: Microsoft Teams integration

We know that quality and engineering teams need visibility into their CI builds to catch issues early on. That's why we're excited to announce our new beta integration with Microsoft Teams, which makes it easier than ever to view Cypress test results in real-time, directly in your Teams channels. One of the biggest challenges facing engineering and quality teams today is the sheer number of CI build processes, systems, and notifications that can easily go unnoticed. Our new integration with Mic

Using Dependency Injection in React with Cypress Component Testing

Testing React components is relatively straightforward. However, you might run into an instance where some of the modules imported in your component are getting in the way of testing its functionality, and you'd like a way to work around them. A technique that can be used to help with this problem is called dependency injection. In this post, I'll cover what dependency injection is and a simple method of implementing it so you can get on testing your components! What is Dependency Injection?

Breaking Barriers: Women in Test Automation

Just as testing plays an integral role in the software development process, women in testing play a crucial role in software teams. Their diverse perspectives, skill sets, and experiences are critical in delivering high-quality, inclusive, and innovative software. However, studies show that around 50% of women leave their tech career by the age of 35, compared to approximately 20% in other industries. So, how can we support women in testing? We asked some of our favorite women in testing for th

New for 12.7: Component Framework Definition API

Cypress Component Testing Integration Framework Definition API

Why Transparency is One of Our Core Values

There is a saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Cypress understands the vital role our community plays in our shared success, and that if we are to reach our goals we must go forward together with our community. With that in mind, we are beginning to roll out a series of initiatives designed to help us grow a stronger partnership with our community, improve the transparency around how we operate, and share plans for future work. Our first step is to

Easily Perform Multi-Domain Testing with cy.origin

With the cy.origin() command, (added in Cypress 9.6.0), you can easily switch between origins to seamlessly test syndicated authentication, cross-site CMS workflows, and much more. UPDATE: With Cypress 12, we brought cy.session() support out of experimental and into general availability status. Session support can tie closely with cross-origin in that you can save a user session (storage, cookies, etc.) after authentication and restore it in a subsequent test. This cuts down on overall test sui
