See what changed, whether it affects you, and how teams ship with confidence. [Meet cypress tap: give your AI agent the context the Cypress app shows you Cypress AIcypress tap is a new set of CLI command to pull Cypress app context into your terminal. It lets AI agent drive a Cypress open session from the terminal, so it can author new tests, extend existing ones, and read failures the way the Cypress app shows them.Read more](/blog/cypress-tap-cli) [All](/blog)[Releases](/blog/category/Releases) [Community](/blog/category/Community) [Education](/blog/category/Education) [Customer Stories]() [Company](/blog/category/Company) [Testing Redux Store Cypress tests usually operate via public browser APIs like DOM, network, or storage. But the tests can just as easily reach into the application and check if the internal state is updated correctly. In this blog post I will show you how to run assertions against a React application that uses a Redux store. This blog post assumes you’ve already installed Cypress, and you can find the source code in cypress-example-recipes#testing-redux-store. First test I have copied the offic Read more](/blog/testing-redux-store) [ReactiveConf 2018 October 2018 was a great month for Cypress - we went out of Beta with our SaaS services, did a ton of work on the test runner and released v3.1.1, and I did ReactiveConf Roadshow and Conference tour. This blog post summarizes what I have done during the conference. If you could not attend the ReactiveConf 2018, you can still catch up with Cypress by reading. Meetups We have driven around Czech Republic with Matej Stratený and conducted 3 meetups dedicated to web application testing usin Read more](/blog/reactiveconf-2018) [Cypress Case Study: Quizlet With more than 30 million active users every month, Quizlet is now the world’s largest student and teacher online learning community. It’s used by one in two high school students and one in three college students, so keeping their application up and running smoothly is a top priority. In this case study, we’ll dig into why and how Quizlet now trusts Cypress as their primary end-to-end testing framework. The Problem Quizlet was using Capybara, which is a Ruby layer on Selenium for E2E test Read more](/blog/quizlet-case-study) [Cypress Halloween Theme A good tool can become a great tool when users make it their own through customization. In this blog post I will explain how to customize the Cypress test runner’s appearance through user space color themes. Since it is the season, we have prepared a dark and spooky Halloween color theme that might scare all your bugs away! When Cypress executes your end-to-end tests, the application under test is placed in an iframe element. The tests themselves are placed into another iframe to isolate them f Read more](/blog/halloween-theme) [Dashboard Service Downtime Post-mortem on September 24th, 2018 On Monday, September 24th, the Cypress Dashboard service experienced an approximate downtime of 4 hours from 18:20 UTC to 22:40 UTC. This post is to document and communicate to our users the events that occurred, our investigation, solutions, and the actions we’re taking immediately to mitigate and improve our response to service downtime scenarios. Events * At 18:20 UTC we started seeing elevated levels of a variety of errors. One repeated error indicated that our application hosting pr Read more](/blog/downtime-post-mortem-09-24-2018) [We're officially out of beta! It’s been over four years since our first commit. Since then, we’ve seen Cypress achieve widespread and rapidly growing adoption. It’s now been downloaded more than 2.5 million times, with thousands of organizations recording millions of tests per month. And today, we’re thrilled to announce that Cypress has officially left beta. 🎉 To keep up, we’ve expanded our engineering team, while working hard to grow a community that helps thousands of QA engineers and developers in more than 90 coun Read more](/blog/cypress-is-officially-out-of-beta) [Run Your End-to-end Tests 10 Times Faster with Automatic Test Parallelization I have no patience waiting for a lot of Cypress end-to-end tests to finish running on CI. Just sitting and waiting … staring at the CI badge. Any run taking longer than a minute feels like an eternity. Our Cypress development team felt this pain and decided to do something about it. Today we have a solution that slashes those waiting periods - it is automatic test file load balancing across multiple CI machines using a single --parallel flag. #Load-BalancingLoad Balancing By default cypress run Read more](/blog/run-end-to-end-tests-on-ci-faster) [Setting up Bitbucket Pipelines with proper caching of NPM and Cypress This is a guest post from Ondřej Janošík, co-owner of Notum Technologies, full-stack developer and clean code enthusiast based in the Czech Republic. Bitbucket Pipelines & Deployments is integrated CI/CD for Bitbucket Cloud that’s trivial to set up, automating your code from test to production (at least that’s what the official site says). However, setting up your pipelines with right commands and right caching in order to be as fast as possible requires some time. In this article, I am g Read more](/blog/setting-up-bitbucket-pipelines-with-proper-caching-of-npm-and-cypress) [Record Test Artifacts from any Docker CI We worked hard to make sure the Cypress Test Runner could be compatible with every continuous integration system. Jenkins, Travis, Circle, Zeit Now, Google Cloud Build, or your own homegrown CI system - they should all work with zero or minimum effort. We also worked hard to make our Dashboard Service particularly useful in collecting and showing all of your test artifacts in a single place. Test artifacts When you execute cypress run, the end-to-end tests produce artifacts for each spe Read more](/blog/record-test-artifacts-from-any-ci) [Newer posts](/blog/page/46) [Older posts](/blog/page/48)
