help Cypress FAQ

What is Cypress used to test?

Cypress is used mainly for testing web applications in a real browser. Teams can use it for end-to-end tests and other browser-based checks of user flows.

Does Cypress support time travel debugging?

Yes, Cypress lets developers inspect commands and application state during a test run. Its command log makes it possible to move through earlier steps and investigate failures.

How is Cypress different from Selenium?

Cypress runs closely with the browser and provides features such as automatic waiting, real-time reloading, and an interactive runner. Selenium uses a WebDriver-based architecture and supports a wider range of browser and language setups.

Can Cypress test a login and checkout flow?

Yes, a Cypress test can visit pages, interact with forms, and check results such as confirmation messages. Teams should use safe test accounts and test payment data rather than real customer details.
