Getting Started with Cypress — quiz

A teammate compares Cypress to Selenium and asks how Cypress can be "so much faster and less flaky." What's the architectural reason?

• Cypress runs tests in a separate JVM process for isolation
• Cypress runs in the same browser process as the app under test, communicating directly with the DOM rather than through a remote WebDriver protocol
• Cypress uses HTTP polling to check assertions every millisecond
• Cypress compiles tests to native browser code
