What you can do with Cypress
Write tests in JavaScript or TypeScript against Chrome-family browsers and Firefox.
Run the suite from CI.
Review runs, Test Replay and flake detection in Cypress Cloud.
Cypress is open source. Its trade-offs guide sets out one open browser at a time, with a plugin for multiple tabs, and special commands for cross-origin steps.
What you can do with DoesQA
Also in DoesQA: build browser tests on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, start Runs from CI, and review every Result with a step timeline, screenshots and video.
Whole journeys in one Flow
A Flow follows your user into a new tab, through a frame and back again, with no plugin to add. Built-in email testing covers sign-up, password reset and magic links, and multifactor authentication testing uses real MFA codes, so the journey continues past login.
Faster maintenance
Shared Elements and Step Groups mean one fix updates every Flow that uses them. Maintenance is at least 400% faster than coded frameworks for the same journeys.
