Summary

Cypress, an end-to-end testing tool, had a productive November as team members participated in conferences and meetups in Europe to share knowledge and gather user feedback. At Devoxx Belgium 2018, the Cypress team conducted a hands-on workshop for over 60 attendees, introducing new users to Cypress through practical exercises with an example React app. The workshop's success generated interest in a subsequent talk on next-generation web application testing, highlighting Cypress's capabilities, such as flake-free testing and test parallelization, which received recognition as one of Devoxx’s Top-100-Rated-Talks. Additionally, a visit to the Xebia headquarters in the Netherlands allowed the team to engage with users through a talk and a hands-on lab session, discussing Cypress features and best practices. The engagements provided valuable insights into user experiences and potential areas for enhancing Cypress documentation and product development. Overall, these events enabled the Cypress team to connect with the community, aligning their roadmap with user needs and promoting further education on test automation.
