Cypress: Testing without Selenium, Part 2
summary
Cypress.io is presented as a Selenium-free test runner that runs tests inside the browser through a proxy and even inserts a certificate to rewrite domains so tests and app can share state. The talk covers Cypress architecture and CI/CD integration, network intercepts and request rewrites, automatic command queuing (no manual async), a React component mount for component tests, retry logic to reduce flakiness, a paid dashboard for parallel CI, and examples of file stubbing and custom commands.
