Time Extended! 

We know Q1 was packed with sprints and deadlines—which is why we’re giving you a bit more time. If you’ve been meaning to submit a talk, now’s your chance. The new deadline to submit your CFP is May 9th.

 

CypressConf is our annual event that brings together testing professionals, industry leaders, and automation enthusiasts. As a speaker, you’ll get the opportunity to share your ideas, showcase your projects, and connect with the Cypress community.

 

All talks will be scheduled between 30 - 60 minutes, so please tailor your proposal to fit within that range. We welcome talks across all experience levels and encourage creative, thoughtful, and practical sessions.

UI Coverage Gets Deeper With Shadow DOM Support

UI Coverage now supports Shadow DOM elements, giving you a fuller picture of all the events and interactions that took place during your tests. Also, have you seen how to compare coverage reports across different runs in Branch Review? Check out our new documentation to learn how to detect new untested elements and pages, and see new interactive elements that have been introduced. To discover how UI Coverage helps surface untested elements, check out this demo.

Cloud Just Got a Whole Lot Smoother

We’ve made some meaningful updates to Cypress Cloud, many of them driven by your feedback, to make managing your testing workspace easier and more efficient.
You can now collapse the navigation sidebar, giving you more space to focus on test results without distractions. It’s a small change that brings big clarity.

Need to rotate your Data Extract API key? You can now recycle keys directly within the Cloud UI, no need to reach for external tools or dig through documentation.

We’ve also added full control over your SSO integration, so you can reconfigure or adjust your setup post-launch to better match your evolving team needs.

Inviting users is simpler, too. You can now invite multiple users at once, and assign each person a role and team during the invite process, saving time and reducing admin follow-up.

Finally, our updated Users & Teams page now supports powerful new filters, sorting, and search, making it easier to find exactly who you’re looking for in larger organizations.

These updates are designed to help you spend less time managing logistics, and more time focusing on quality.
