Then it grew. More specs, more coverage, more release confidence, all wins your team celebrated. But as your quality practice matured and the suite kept growing, run times started to creep up, climbing from a few minutes toward an hour or more. Now pull requests wait in a queue, and the feedback loop that used to feel nearly instant is long enough to pull you out of your workflow and stall velocity. If this is a familiar story for your team, the reass Read more](/blog/run-cypress-at-scale-in-harness-ci-with-smart-orchestration) [How to Connect an AI Agent to a Live Cypress Test Session If you've used Cypress Cloud MCP, you know what it looks like when your agent triages a CI failure on its own: no copy-pasting, no context switching. But what about when you're developing locally? When a test fails in cypress open, your agent is still on the outside. It can't see the runner, the DOM, or what the app looked like when it broke. You're still the one relaying that information. Connecting the Chrome DevTools MCP to your Cypress session changes that. Your agent gets direct access to Read more](/blog/connect-an-ai-agent-to-a-live-cypress-test-session) [Keeping up: Test coverage that works with AI-accelerated development A 2024 GitHub survey found that nearly all enterprise developers (97%) are using Generative AI coding tools. The majority of companies surveyed actively encourage the use of AI. At the same time, GitClear reports declining code quality metrics, and more frequent revisions of existing code, when code is written with the help of AI assistants. All of this puts more pressure on the test automation pipeline as the gatekeeper for quality, and the early warning system for when code isn’t ready to rel Read more](/blog/keeping-up-test-coverage-that-works-with-ai-accelerated-development) [Improving Accessibility in Legacy Applications Over the years, accessibility is something that I’ve come to see as foundational to front-end application quality. Not optional, not an afterthought, not a debate. As the product manager for Cypress Accessibility, I’ve been able to talk to hundreds of people about how they and their companies manage accessibility in their approach to development and quality. One thing is clear: lots of us are working in less than ideal conditions when it comes to making applications usable for people with disabi Read more](/blog/improving-accessibility-in-legacy-applications) [Elevate Your Cypress Testing: Top 10 Essential Plugins Discover how to maximize the potential of Cypress with these top 10 essential plugins.

By identifying and fixing bugs early, testing prevents them from snowballing into larger, more complex issues, ultimately saving time and resources. Thorough testing significantly improves software quality, ensuring it functions as intended, meets requirements, and delivers a positive user experience, leading to higher customer satisfaction and a bett Read more](/blog/cypress-in-action-fitting-testing-into-your-software-development-practices) [Introducing UI Coverage Learn how UI Coverage by Cypress enhances your testing strategy by providing visual insights into test coverage, identifying gaps, and optimizing your test suite.

Here are the top five takeaways from that insightful session: 1. Understanding CI/CD: The Foundation of Quality Automation Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) form the backbone of efficient de Read more](/blog/webinar-recap) [Introducing Cypress Accessibility Updated March 2025. Looking for a free trial? Sign up here. Introduction We built Cypress Accessibility to help teams measure and improve the accessibility of their applications by adding highly effective, zero-effort accessibility checks to the Cypress Cloud platform. To do this, we automatically generate rich, interactive accessibility reports based entirely on existing tests being recorded to Cypress Cloud. This requires no setup or configuration, so it can be adopted instantly at any time Read more](/blog/introducing-cypress-accessibility) [Webinar Recap: Introducing The New Era of Debugging Recently, we were joined by Cypress Ambassadors and Brian Mann, the visionary founder behind Cypress, to discuss an exciting new feature released in Cypress 13: Test Replay! In this article, we’ve summarized the key takeaways from the webinar. If you’re curious for more, the full recording is available on YouTube. Last week, we announced the release of Test Replay in Cypress Cloud. This feature allows you to interact with previous tests as they occurred during Continuous Integration (CI), elimi Read more](/blog/webinar-recap-new-era-debugging) [Move Your Protractor Tests to Cypress Faster with the Cypress Migrator We’ve created an educational tool to help you visualize and learn the differences between Protractor and Cypress APIs to move your tests over more rapidly: the Cypress Migrator! The tool is a hands-on playground where you can easily paste in code snippets from Protractor to see what they look like in Cypress. It is worth noting that since there are major differences in the way Protractor code and Cypress code are written, it’s not intended, at this time, to be a tool that would transform entire Read more](/blog/cypress-migrator-protractor)
