What is Cypress?

From https://cypress.io:

”Cypress is a next generation front end testing tool built for the modern web. We address the key pain points developers and QA engineers face when testing modern applications.”

What makes it so special?
It’s incredibly easy to learn. While I do have some minor experience with Selenium + C# as well as Robot Framework, the application I’m writing test cases for uses node.js. Within a couple of days of the Cypress framework being set up by a developer, I was able to write a couple of functional tests.

I started using Cypress in 2020 and created over 90 scripts with 400+ scenarios which were used as part of a regular regression cycle. Scripts were written in Visual Studio Code and checked into my company’s Github repository.
