Why Cypress

Until now, front-end testing was the part developers hated. Not anymore. Cypress makes testing building, testing, and debugging modern web applications fast, easy, and reliable.

The leading framework for automating browser testing of modern web apps.

Since its introduction, Cypress has quickly become the most developer-loved automated testing framework for modern web applications. Why? Simply, Cypress delivers a superior experience.

Get Started in Minutes

Out-of-the-box, Cypress includes everything needed to write, run, and debug automated tests. Spend less time managing drivers and dependencies, and spend more time delivering quality code.

Speed and Performance

We built Cypress from the ground up for superior stability. Running in the same run-loop as your app allows us to control the entire automation process from top to bottom.

Concise and Powerful API

Cypress's API is powerful and easy to learn. That's one of the main reasons why developers love Cypress and use it while developing apps. Writing tests should be easy for everyone, not just QA testers.

Interactive Testing Experience

Cypress's interactive test runner allows you to watch (and time travel!) tests in real-time. When debugging, you can use built-in browser tools and skip cumbersome breakpoints and java outputs.

Real-time Browser Rendering

Cypress runs directly in the browser so test results are reliable and representative of actual users' experience. No more debugging false-positive results due to flaky network calls to the browser.

Native Screenshots and Videos

Understand why something failed with automatic DOM snapshots and videos of a full test spec run. Want to capture any other part of your test? Just call cy.screenshot().

"With Cypress, we have more diligence, more contribution from devs, more help to review tests, more solid tests."
