About the Awards
BairesDev engineers selected Cypress for its fast feedback loops and debugging capabilities. They cited real-time test execution with instant reloads, visual snapshots that capture every step of a test run, and built-in video recording that shows exactly where tests fail in CI.
Developer Insights
It's easy to use, and you can create helper functions to be used across the requests. The visual component helps debug/inspect each request to the backend.
I like its integration with our CI/CD tools, and its end-to-end testing capabilities.
Honorable Mentions
Selenium
Longest-established testing framework with the largest community and broadest language support.
Playwright
Modern testing framework from Microsoft with out-of-process execution and automatic waiting.
