    Trade-offs: Screenshots and videos

    Permanent trade-offs Overview​: Cypress is not a general purpose automation tool. Cypress commands run inside of a browser. You cannot use Cypress to drive two browsers at the same time. Each test is bound to a single superdomain. | Temporary trade-offs Overview​: Workarounds for the lack of a cy.hover() command. There is not any native or mobile events support. iframe support is somewhat limited, but does work.

    Trade-offs: Inside the browser

    Trade-offs: Test retries
