You've seen the previews. You’ve heard the buzz. And now it’s official: cy.prompt() is live and available to everyone as an experimental feature. Announced live on stage at CypressConf 2025 by founder Brian Mann, cy.prompt()’s entrance into the Cypress API marks a first step into the future of AI-assisted testing.


The Problem

Modern AI has promised to make test automation easier, but until now, the reality has often fell short. Many AI-based testing tools weren’t built with testing in mind. T

Cypress's platform is a resource for developers and QA engineers, offering insights into end-to-end testing, test automation frameworks, and modern web application testing. Through articles, tutorials, and documentation, Cypress offers insights into writing and running automated tests for web applications. Developers can learn about Cypress's testing features, including real-time feedback, browser snapshots, and debugging tools, to ensure the quality and reliability of their web applications.

Cypress has launched cy.prompt(), an experimental feature that allows developers to write end-to-end tests using natural language instead of code. The feature translates plain English descriptions of user journeys into executable Cypress commands, runs directly in the browser with full visibility, and includes self-healing capabilities to adapt to UI changes. It requires Cypress v15.4.0, a simple config flag, and a Cypress Cloud account. Tests can be ejected to regular code or kept as prompts for runtime self-healing, making test automation more accessible to non-technical team members while maintaining transparency and reliability.

The Speed of AI with the Peace of Mind of Human Governance

<p>This looks really dumb and unstable. I thought the whole point of testing frameworks was to be repeatable</p>
