Showcase Your Cypress Skills with a GitHub README Badge

Use this markdown in your README:

![Cypress](https://img.shields.io/badge/Cypress-17202C?style=for-the-badge&logo=cypress&logoColor=white)

The #17202C is Cypress's dark background color from their brand guidelines — a near-black that reflects Cypress's dark-themed UI. The cypress logo identifier renders Cypress's logo from Simple Icons. The dark badge has strong visual contrast in a badge row and stands out distinctively from lighter-colored testing tool badges.

Cypress usage ranges from basic click-through tests to sophisticated component testing and CI integration. Differentiate your depth:

• Basic: Navigation and form submission tests, basic selectors and assertions
• Intermediate: Custom commands, fixtures for test data, API route interception with cy.intercept()
• Advanced: Component testing (Cypress 10+), visual regression with Percy or Applitools, Cypress Cloud for test analytics and parallelization
• Architecture: Test organization with Page Object patterns or app actions, custom Cypress plugins, CI pipeline integration with test retries and reporting

Specifically mentioning cy.intercept() for API mocking or custom command patterns signals Cypress expertise above the tutorial level.

Cypress integrates across the frontend testing ecosystem:

• React testing stack: Cypress + React + Jest + Testing Library
• Angular testing stack: Cypress + Angular + Karma + TypeScript
• Vue testing stack: Cypress + Vue.js + Vitest + TypeScript
• CI/CD testing: Cypress + GitHub Actions + Docker + Cypress Cloud

Cypress and Playwright are direct competitors in the E2E testing space. If you use both, mention which scenarios each handles in your stack — Cypress's component testing vs. Playwright's cross-browser coverage and API testing capabilities. This kind of tool judgment signals senior-level thinking.

Cypress test files are JavaScript or TypeScript and count toward your language stats accordingly. A repository with a well-organized cypress/ directory structure — commands, fixtures, page objects, and readable test descriptions — demonstrates more about your engineering discipline than the language percentage alone.

For pinned repositories, include projects where Cypress tests are part of a CI/CD pipeline. A GitHub Actions workflow that runs Cypress on every pull request is a strong signal of production-quality engineering practices. Adding a test coverage badge or a Cypress test status badge to your README shows that you maintain test infrastructure, not just write initial tests and forget them.
