What is agent-driven E2E testing with Cypress?

It's a loop of AI subagents in Cursor that explore your app live, write Cypress tests, run them, and fix fails—self-healing, no manual grind.

How do you set up Cypress agents in Cursor?

Create .cursor/agents/ markdown files for each: explorer, builder, etc. Define prompts, inputs/outputs. Use built-in browser for live mapping.

Will Cypress agents replace human testers?

Nah—they package human smarts into reusable loops, freeing you for strategy, not selector hunts.
