Code Coverage Isn’t Enough: How UI Coverage Completes the Picture

Measuring Coverage Is Hard; We Made It Better Trying to understand how much of your application is tested can be an exercise in frustration—you're stuck relying on numbers that are hard to interpret, methods that don’t reflect real user activity, and reports that are a nightmare to collaborate on.

How to Run Cypress in Docker With a Single Command

If you are a Node.js developer, installing Cypress as a dev dependency in your package.json file or even via direct download seems simple enough. Yet for developers working in other languages like Python or Go, using npm can be an obstacle. We often hear this question from developers: Why don’t you have a Docker image with Cypress pre-installed? Having an image with both OS dependencies and the Cypress test runner ready to go seems to be very convenient. We have listened and created a Doc

Using Events Emitted from Your Application during End-to-End Tests

Imagine a typical web application during end-to-end testing. The test runner (in this case Cypress.io [https://www.cypress.io]) is driving the app via its DOM elements; it is clicking and typing and scrolling.

But what is going on under the hood? Is the web application correctly processing user actions? In this blog po
