Here are the requirements and implementation steps:

• Prerequisites:
  • GitHub repository with your Cypress tests
  • Node.js installed in your project
  • package.json with Cypress dependencies
  • Basic project structure for Cypress tests
• Basic Project Structure
• 
• Implementation Steps:
  • 1. Update package.json – Add these dependencies:
  • 
  • 2. Configure Cypress for CI – In cypress.config.js:
  • 

Features of the CI/CD Pipeline:

• Runs on push to main/develop branches and pull requests
• Daily scheduled runs
• Parallel test execution across multiple browsers
• Caching for faster builds
• Test artifacts and reports storage
• Environment variable support
• Cross-browser testing

Additional Setup Required:

a. Set up repository secrets in GitHub:

• CYPRESS_BASE_URL
• CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY (if using Cypress Dashboard)

b. Optional: Configure Cypress Dashboard

• Sign up for Cypress Dashboard
• Add your project
• Get the record key
• Enable recording in the workflow

Best Practices:

• Keep tests independent
• Use environment variables for sensitive data
• Implement retry logic for flaky tests
• Regular maintenance of dependencies
• Monitor test execution times

Monitoring and Maintenance:

• Check GitHub Actions tab for build status
• Review test reports regularly
• Monitor test execution times
• Update dependencies periodically
• Review and update test cases as needed
