Cypress is an open-source, full-featured, and easy-to-use end-to-end testing framework for web application testing. Cypress is a relatively new player in the automation testing space and has been gaining a lot of traction lately, as evidenced by the number of Forks (2.2K) and Stars (36.6K) for the project.
Unlike Selenium, Cypress is preferred by front-end developers and automation testers who are well-versed in JavaScript. However, Cypress is slowly catching up with Selenium, and the six-month download trend comparison of Cypress and Selenium indicates that the war between the two frameworks will continue to intensify in the coming months.
