Test History Snipper overview

Test History helps you to review the historical performance of individual tests across different runs and branches.

Cypress test history - flaky, passed and failed instances

Each individual dot is an instance of the test. The dots are arranged in chronological order.

Hovering over a dot will show individual run details. Clicking on a dot will open the recorded test instance and reveal its details.

The dots are coloured as follows:

• red - failed

• blue - passed

• purple - passed but flaky

• grey - test was ignored

• orange - test was skipped due to a failure

FAQ

What instances represent the same test across different runs?

Instances with the same spec file, project and title will be considered as belonging to the same test - i.e. renaming a test or renaming a spec file will "detach" it from its history.
