Cypress testing framework can be called a next-generation front end tool for testing built for the modern web.
Cypress can be understood as an end-to-end testing framework based on JavaScript, which comes with various inbuilt features. You will need these features in any automation tool. Cypress tests are written in JavaScript but let that not scare you, in case you are unfamiliar with JavaScript, the majority of the time you would be working with cypress commands which are pretty intuitive to work with. End to end testing might be hard but cypress makes it pleasing and enjoyable.
Cypress, primarily, is not built over selenium and is a new driver which operates within your app and this lets you exercise very good control over the backend and frontend of your app. It can also test anything which runs in a browser.
The process of installing Cypress is an easy task. The only thing you require is node.js installed in the machine and then two npm commands – npm init, npm install cypress –save-dev.
In the article will briefly talk about the Cypress testing framework in detail, including the advantages and benefits of Cypress testing, how it is different, and how to install it.
