Integration Testing with Cypress
summary
Claims that Cypress lets teams write acceptance-criteria-driven tests during development, not after, and that setup takes minutes. Demonstrates a small plugin, Cypress Auto Record, that records HTTP interactions on first run, writes JSON mocks, then stubs those routes on subsequent runs so front-end tests run faster and more stable. Shows tests that simulate the UI, mock the backend, auto-rewrite stale mocks, and reports that the approach reduces manual regressions and scales better than large suites of brittle e2e tests.
