Cypress is a testing tool that allows for easy setup, writing, executing, and debugging of tests directly inside the browser. It provides features like time travel debugging, automatic waiting, and traffic control. Tests are run via a test runner dashboard and provide snapshots, dev tools, screenshots, and video for debugging. Cypress aims to improve development speed for testing with its simple setup and usage directly inside the browser, though it is limited to a single browser and origin.
