    Fast, easy and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser.

  • It sure does. The way Cypress works is that it injects their entire driver (test API) to the browser and then loads the tests themselves, also in the browser. It is a finicky process because they need to rewrite all JS and HTML (https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/packages/...). It is slow because they have to proxy everything through HTTP 1.1 proxy (https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/packages/...).

    The thing that I built takes a different approach. It parses Cypress tests, interprets the commands that Cypress wants to run, and then uses Chrome DevTool protocol (CDP) to evaluate commands such as navigation, click, etc. If you are familiar with the JavaScript ecosystem, my tool effectively transforms tests to Playwright compatible tests and then uses custom orchestration logic to run them.
