Profile picture for user arilio666

In this article, we will see about cypress's components. Cypress has two components.

  • Test Runner
  • Dashboard

1.) Test Runner

Tests are run on a unique interface that usually allows us to see and understand what is happening on our tests.

Test Status: This menu shows how many tests passed/failed and the time is taken for them to finish.
URL Preview: This shows us the URL on which tests are performed.
Viewport: Sets the app's viewport size to test the response.
Command log: This shows us the command log as the tests execute.
App Preview: A preview of the app on which tests are performed is displayed.

2.) Dashboard

The dashboard component in cypress allows us to see and access recorded tests when cypress tests are running from the CI provider. It provides insight into what happened in our test.
