Functional and Visual Testing for Web Applications
summary
Demo shows Cypress as a test runner that runs tests inside the browser (Node + Electron), executes JavaScript specs, and keeps tests reliable by retries assertions until timeout and capturing DOM snapshots so fast animations are caught. Live examples hit a broken contact form and a speakers count assertion (56). Visual regression uses Percy for screenshot diffs — Percy visual diffs 5,000 free snapshots/month — and the demo builds and comparisons are shown working end to end.
