Cypress 15.1.0 introduces an enhanced version of cy.press(), a feature initially launched in Cypress 14.3.0 to send native keyboard events to the browser, which now supports a wider array of keys including letters, numbers, special characters, and named keys such as Enter, Space, and arrow keys. This upgrade addresses the limitations of the earlier .type() method, which, while effective for simulating text input, did not accurately reflect the behavior of real keystrokes, particularly for non-character keys. The expanded functionality of cy.press() allows developers to conduct more thorough accessibility testing and keyboard navigation validation by simulating realistic keyboard interactions, thus improving the testing of focus management and keyboard shortcuts. The update is aimed at enhancing both the accessibility and usability of applications by allowing developers to test complex navigation and accessibility workflows more effectively.
