Executing the Script Using Cypress UI

Run algoQA-generated Cypress scripts using the Cypress UI test runner or execute them in headless mode for faster results. This guide covers both approaches.

Executing Scripts Using Cypress UI

1. Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the scripts to open the command prompt from the same folder.

   Make sure Cypress is configured on your system. For more details, refer to the Configuring Node.js Version and Cypress article.

2. Run the following command to launch the Cypress UI.

   npx cypress open
   

3. Cypress UI screen appears with Cypress configured. In this screen, select the E2E testing option.

   

4. Choose a browser screen appears. In this screen, select Chrome and click the Start E2E Testing in Electron button.

   

5. The Feature File will be displayed. Click the Feature File to start the execution.

   

6. The execution screen will be displayed.

   

Executing Scripts in Headless Mode

With headless mode, tests run quickly without displaying the browser window. This means you can get test results faster, speeding up your testing process. Additionally, you can view the generated report. Ensure that Cypress is configured on your system.

Perform the following:

1. Navigate to the same folder where you saved your algoQA-generated scripts. Type cmd on the navigation bar to open the command prompt.
2. Run the following command to execute the scripts:
   npx cypress run --headless
   

   

3. The report contains details like Feature, Scenario outline, examples, pass percentage, duration.
