New: Finish Cypress Cloud runs faster with the Run Completion API

Starting now, all Cypress Cloud plans can use the Run Completion API, allowing the Cypress Cloud run to finalize immediately at the end of test recoding, instead of staying open for new tests. Here's why that's important and how it can save you time. Cloud runs can have multiple groups of tests Cypress Cloud runs are often made up of many isolated cypress run groups. These may represent things like: * separate parallel machines * different browsers running the tests * different testing t

Cypress Ambassador Spotlight: Boris Selivanov

What motivates you to be a Cypress Ambassador? I see being an Ambassador as the ultimate form of asynchronous collaboration. My goal is to share things that move the needle for other engineers. By comparing how different teams solve the same testing problems, we can turn isolated project victories into shared wins. How do you currently help others that are either using Cypress or interested in using Cypress? I'm the person teammates ping when a test goes flaky or they're not sure how to appro

Read your Cypress Test Replay from the terminal, and hand it to your agent

These days, a lot of your day to day work runs through an AI coding agent. It reads your code, writes and runs your tests, and can gather the metadata around a failed CI run: which tests failed, the error, the stack trace. But the rich detail of what actually happened at the moment a test flaked or failed has stayed with you as a manual process. So you've been the middleman between the full failure context and your agent. You open the Test Replay, reason through what went wrong, and translate i

That's the same philosophy behind the bootcamp I run: everyone leaves with their own repo, not just notes. How do you currently help others that are either using Cypress or interested in using Cypress? I mentor teammates and collaborate closely with developers and product owners to improve testing practices
