Case Study: Siemens achieves 375% faster test execution with Cypress

Siemens increases test execution speed by 375% with Cypress

Siemens faced the challenge of testing its highly complex Building Operator cloud application, which integrated an Angular front-end, Express API, microservices, and hardware. This complex infrastructure led to slow, flaky tests with many false negatives, which made maintaining scripts frustrating and unproductive for the Siemens SW Hub Cloud team. They turned to the vendor Cypress and its Cypress App and Cypress Cloud products to find a solution.

By implementing Cypress, Siemens was able to create advanced UI and API tests that seamlessly handled its complex environment. The solution reduced the team's lines of code by 49% and increased test execution speed by 375%. Cypress made identifying points of failure very easy, reducing diagnosis effort to a third of what it was before and increasing overall productivity by 38%.
