What is Cypress? ## Cypress in 60 seconds ![Cypress](https://testingbot.com/assets/support/cypress-409c9fd3f79115ed7676aa1df4f6a217dc4402b3366a61984924aec7b4fefa97.svg) ### Cypress Open source · MIT · JavaScript / TypeScript Cypress is a JavaScript end-to-end testing framework that runs in the browser, in the same JavaScript runtime as your app. Tests get direct access to every object, the DOM, network requests, timers and the framework's own state, without the cross-process bridge that WebDriver-based tools use. That gives Cypress its trademark fast feedback loop, automatic waiting, time-travel debugging and built-in spy / stub APIs. It is the canonical choice for JavaScript-first teams that want a fast feedback loop and modern DX. - JavaScript / TypeScript-first, runs in-browser - Real Chrome, Firefox and Edge - Auto-wait, time-travel debugger, network stubbing - Built-in spy, stub and clock APIs - Parallel via the testingbot-cypress-cli Two-line CLI ## Run Cypress on the cloud with one command Install our open-source CLI, run testingbot-cypress init to generate a config, then testingbot-cypress run to fan out across real browsers in parallel. install & init step 1 ```bash # Install the open-source CLI $ npm install testingbot-cypress-cli # Generate testingbot.json (one-off) $ testingbot-cypress init # Edit the generated testingbot.json: # "cypress_project_dir": "./cypress", # "browsers": ["chrome", "firefox", "edge"], # "build_name": "ci-build-${BUILD_NUMBER}" ``` run on the cloud step 2 ```bash # Run your specs on real cloud browsers $ testingbot-cypress run --parallel 10 # Pin a specific supported Cypress version $ testingbot-cypress run \ --cypress-version "14.2.0" # → live results in your TestingBot dashboard # → video and console logs via REST API ``` See the full [Cypress on TestingBot documentation](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/cypress) for advanced flags, parallel options and CI integration. Local vs cloud ## Local Cypress vs TestingBot Cypress is fast on a laptop until you need scale, multiple browsers or real WebKit. Here is how a hosted cloud compares. | Capability | TestingBot | Local Cypress | | --- | --- | --- | | Browser coverage | Real Chrome, Firefox and Edge | Whatever you have installed locally | | Operating systems | Real Windows, macOS and Linux | Your single dev machine | | Parallel scaling | Up to 100 concurrent sessions, on demand | Capped by your CPU and RAM | | Video & logs | HD video and console logs included | Built-in video, but no central dashboard | | Test private & staging environments | Built-in secure tunnel | Direct access only | | EU data residency | Yes, GDPR-compliant | Whatever country your laptop is in | | Reliability | 99.9% uptime SLA, 24/7 monitoring | Crashes when you close the lid | ![Video, screenshots and logs out of the box](https://testingbot.com/assets/features/test-results-315382c39a67ad52167d2a4fd78570c99aea3e0ec386c17e82265851e93cb7b3.png) Test artifacts ## Video, screenshots and logs out of the box Every Cypress run ships with a full HD video, browser console log and screenshots.

Locally Cypress runs on whatever browser you have installed. TestingBot gives you up to 100 parallel Cypress sessions on real Chrome, Firefox and Edge across real Windows, macOS and Linux machines, with HD video and console logs collected automatically. Which Cypress versions are supported? TestingBot currently supports Cypress `14.2.0`, `13.17.0`, `13.3.3` (default), `12.5.1`, `10.0.0`, `9.1.0` and `8.0.0`. Pin a specific version per-run via the `cypress_version` field in your `testingbot.json`. Can I run Cypress in parallel? Yes. Plans on TestingBot include up to 100 parallel Cypress sessions, with automatic spec sharding handled by the testingbot-cypress-cli. Each session runs in its own single-use VM. How is TestingBot different from Cypress Cloud? TestingBot runs Cypress on real Chrome, Firefox and Edge across real Windows, macOS and Linux. Cypress Cloud is a results dashboard, not a browser cloud. The two can coexist, many teams record to Cypress Cloud and execute on TestingBot. Does TestingBot support TypeScript and the Cypress component runner? Yes, see the [TypeScript guide](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/cypress/typescript). Component runs work the same way as e2e specs. How do I migrate my existing Cypress suite? Install our open-source `testingbot-cypress-cli`, run `testingbot-cypress init`, point it at your `cypress.config.js`, and run `testingbot-cypress run`. Your specs, plugins and fixtures stay unchanged. Can I test internal or staged sites? Yes, install our [secure tunnel](https://testingbot.com/support/tunnel) and your Cypress tests can reach staging environments, localhost or anything else behind your firewall. Is the Cypress grid GDPR / SOC 2 compliant? TestingBot is not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. We are GDPR-compliant with EU-only data residency, registered at CSA STAR Level 1 (a published self-assessment), and our control set is modelled on ISO 27001 Annex A. Our datacenter operators hold ISO 27001. We offer SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs on enterprise plans. ## Ready to scale your Cypress testing?
