summary
Cypress demonstration shows concrete techniques: a real Conduit app gets end-to-end specs and the login problem is solved three ways—Cypress silentRequest to set tokens in localStorage, seeded static user fixtures, or creating dynamic users per test—trading speed, isolation, and complexity. Tests gain visual snapshots, direct access to the Redux store to dispatch Redux actions, and a measured 4–5× speedup over UI logins (previously ~1.15s). Project stats: ~11,000 commits, 1,200 in 22 days, public beta released late last year.
