Cypress Ambassador Spotlight: Marcelo Costa

Cypress’s Ambassador Spotlight highlights Marcelo Costa, a QA Automation Engineer and mentor who contributes to the community through Reddit and Telegram support as well as Dev.to articles on topics such as global hooks, cy.prompt(), and Excel validation. Costa cites Cypress’s active community as a key motivation for becoming an Ambassador and identifies cy.intercept as his favorite feature because it can validate, alter, or mock network requests while coordinating frontend testing through aliases and cy.wait. His preferred best practice is using cy.session with cacheAcrossSpecs enabled to reuse login sessions across test specifications. He encourages newcomers to learn through whatever format suits them, prioritize hands-on practice, and view failure as part of the learning process. Outside work, Costa enjoys films, language learning, swimming, vinyl music, travel, and exploring restaurants, and he is particularly proud of recognition from a former Tech Lead for his automation testing skills after adopting a new technology stack.
