The Cypress Team introduced the cy.origin() command in Cypress 9.6.0, which simplifies multi-domain testing by allowing commands to be executed across different superdomains within a single test case. This feature addresses previous challenges with the same-origin policy that required awkward workarounds, such as splitting tests to bypass cross-origin errors. The cy.origin() command improves upon these limitations by enabling seamless testing of complex workflows like syndicated authentication without violating test isolation principles. Additionally, with the release of Cypress 12, cy.session() was moved to general availability, providing enhanced test performance by caching session data between tests, which reduces execution time and network load. The Cypress team is actively seeking user feedback on these features as they continue to refine the testing experience.
