Cypress is a modern end-to-end testing framework for web applications. It provides a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use testing solution that allows developers to write tests in a simple and intuitive manner. Cypress comes with built-in features like automatic waiting, real-time reloads, and debugging tools, making it efficient for testing web applications.

Compared to traditional testing frameworks like Selenium, Cypress offers a more developer-friendly experience with its ability to directly interact with the application under test. It eliminates the need for manual waits and provides a robust testing environment. Cypress is actively maintained with regular updates and improvements, making it a popular choice for web application testing.
