# Cypress - GitLab CI/CD

{% hint style="info" %}
TL;DR Take a look at an example repository:

<https://gitlab.com/currents.dev/gitlab-currents-example>
{% endhint %}

GitLab CI/CD platform allows effectively running your Playwright and Cypress test in parallel, using multiple containers and Currents for tests orchestration.

To run Cypress tests in parallel, define [`parallel`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/job_control.html#parallelize-large-jobs) job parameters in GitLab CI/CD pipeline configuration file.

GitLab will run the jobs on multiple containers - each container will run a unique set of tests using Currents orchestration service. Currents applies intelligent optimizations and sorts the test to reduce the overall runtime of the pipeline.
