Nihar, good article but I don't think the statement "Cypress makes sure this test will not run if the first test doesn't pass." is correct. Cypress will not run the test if a "before" or "beforeEach" hook fails, but it will happily run the second test even if the first test fails. We advise to make your tests independent from each other - if you need a couple of todos for the second test to complete - just create them using a beforeEach and a custom command.
Thank you for correcting me. I started with Cypress recently so I didn't know it was like this. I think I saw an example with a test failing and subsequent tests not running in some specific situation and thought that meant a test failing means the tests following it will fail as well.
I will make sure to check out the GitHub example you linked to 🙂
