Summary

In a recent webcast, Cypress's VP of Engineering, Gleb Bahmutov, and Head of Developer Experience, Amir Rustamzadeh, demonstrated how to generate code coverage reports using Cypress tests. They discussed the effectiveness of full end-to-end (E2E) tests in validating all levels of an application and how unit tests can enhance coverage by reaching code paths that E2E tests might miss. The webcast highlighted the use of a Cypress plugin that merges server-side coverage with front-end information to produce comprehensive coverage reports. The event featured interactive participation through live questions and was well-received, with viewers providing valuable feedback via a post-webcast survey. The recording, slides, and an example repository are available for those who missed the live presentation. Cypress announced more upcoming webcasts, including a session with Spotahome, and encouraged followers to stay updated via their Twitter account.
