In the last year, Cypress Accessibility has grown from its earliest beta form into a mature product with multiple facets and features, supporting many different use cases and scenarios. All of these are possible, or made better, because Cypress Accessibility runs with no test code updates, no plugins, and no performance impact during test runs. This approach, based on testing against the artifacts you already upload to Cypress Cloud in a standard test run, is also what allows us to surface prop Read more

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.

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