Cypress.io: an easy to use tool for end to end test automation
Pros
- autimation of end to end testing of web UI and api
- Getting insight on failing and passing tests
Cons
- There are a lot of plugins but several of them have many errors. So Cypress.io should work integrating more features so that people should not rely on these plugins. For example, many people use cypress-cucumber-preprocessor and Cypress.io can start by integrating Gherkin support by default so that reliance in plugins are decreased.
Most Important Features
- Time travel for debugging failed tests
- Test video and screenshot recorting
- Independent to selenium or other automation tools
Return on Investment
- Flaky tests can be caught easily
- Regration testing of application with Cypress.io helps to maintain quality of the software product.
