Mar’22 Updates: Cypress Testing On Latest OS, New Devices, Browsers In Automation, And Much More!

Happy April to our beloved users. Despite the lingering summer heat, our incredible team of developers continues to grind. Throughout this month, we released several new features in automation testing, manual app testing, and app test automation on real devices, rolled out new devices, browsers, integrations, and much more.

Automated Browser Testing with Cypress is now available on AWS Marketplace. The LambdaTest Cypress cloud platform is now available on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. You can increase your test coverage by using more than 40 different browsers and browser versions for Cypress, including headless browsers.

Without further ado, let’s skim the major highlights of the last month!

Run Cypress test Automation on the latest OS

Recently, we released macOS Monterey and Windows 11 for Selenium automation testing. We are happy to announce that Cypress testing now supports these two operating systems as well. To get started, please refer to the Cypress testing documentation.

You can also refer to the below Cypress tutorial.
