Cypress Dashboard is an Cloud based Test Runner which offers from free to paid service. To access this we need to have at least either of these accounts GitHub or Google.
Why Cypress Dashboard ?
We have to give it to Cypress that it is the most sophisticated testing tool so far when compared to Selenium and Protractor but even it have its own difficulties in area where working with big projects or Projects with Team.
Take a instance when you are working with a project containing 4 spec file when you run a Cypress via CLI it runs all the test and print the output in the console. The thing is when executed all the spec file runs serial (one by one) which take considerable amount of time when spec file increases.
The only way to fix this problem is by executing the spec file in Parallel where non dependent spec files are executed differently at the same time while others are also being executed.
