One user’s feedback on my article “Comments on the claims of ‘7 ways Cypress is different’. All False, Wrong or Lie”: “Cypress Cloud is good”. Oh well, I haven’t used it. For failed Cypress test automation attempts I rescued, they were in a complete mess, previously planned Continuous Testing never occurred. On rescue missions, I usually got some converted (from Cypress to the great raw Selenium WebDriver + RSpec) running in the BuildWise CT server on Day 1, then every day onwards.
