Cypress – ISTQB Definition
Last Updated: July 12, 2026 · SoftwareTestPilot QA Team
Official ISTQB Definition
A JavaScript end-to-end testing framework that runs in the same event loop as the app under test, offering fast, deterministic UI tests.
In simple words
A developer-friendly E2E test framework built for modern JavaScript apps.
Exam tip
Cypress runs inside the browser — trade-off: fast and reliable, but limited cross-origin and multi-tab support.
