Summary

We adopted front-end test automation to improve the efficiency of our delivery process, enabling us to test the application on a high level while adhering to our core principle of delivering quickly and efficiently. We chose Cypress as the best fit for our project due to its ease of use, configurability, and active community. Automation played a crucial role in helping us migrate and refactor our codebase safely, saving time and effort previously spent on manual testing. Integrating automation into our development process simplified the release process and made it easier to manage, while adding test automation to our CI/CD pipeline will help us automatically run our test suite as part of the build process. Front-end test automation has become a crucial part of our release process, preventing bugs from going into production and ensuring that new features do not break old ones without sacrificing speed.
