Burhan vs Cypress
Cypress is a JavaScript framework for engineers who write end-to-end tests in code. Burhan is an AI QA tool that writes and runs those tests for you, straight from your PRDs and user stories.
Start free| Burhan | Cypress | |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes the tests | Burhan, from your PRDs and user stories. Your team reviews them. | An engineer, in JavaScript or TypeScript. |
| What a test checks | What your spec says should happen. | What the engineer coded. |
| When the UI changes | Burhan rereads the spec. No scripts to fix. | Selectors and commands in the code need updating. |
| Who can run QA | Product managers, QA and developers. | Front-end developers and QA engineers who code. |
| When a test fails | The failing step, a video, API calls, console errors and a ready-to-paste bug report. | Screenshots, videos and the command log; Cypress Cloud adds dashboards on paid plans. |
| Arabic apps | Docs and apps in Arabic or English, right-to-left layouts included. | Works with any app; tests are written in code. |
| Cost | Free Starter plan; paid plans per project. | Open-source runner is free; Cypress Cloud is paid. The main cost is engineering time. |
Burhan is the better fit when
- Your Cypress tests keep breaking and nobody has time to fix them.
- Your product is described in PRDs, user stories or specs, and you want tests that check them.
- Product and QA people, not only developers, should own what gets tested.
- Your app is in Arabic, or in both Arabic and English.
Cypress is the better fit when
- Your front-end developers want to write tests in JavaScript next to the code.
- You need component tests and end-to-end tests in one tool.
- You already have a healthy Cypress suite and the people to maintain it.
Or use both
Keep Cypress for component tests your developers own, and let Burhan test every user journey in the spec on staging before each release. Burhan needs nothing from your Cypress setup.
Questions about Burhan and Cypress
Q.01Is Burhan built to replace Cypress?
For end-to-end testing without test engineers, yes. For component tests inside your front-end code, Cypress stays the right tool, and the two work side by side.
Q.02Doesn't Cypress have AI features now?
Cypress has added AI helpers for writing and fixing test code. The tests are still code your engineers keep. Burhan starts from your product docs and keeps the tests itself.
Q.03Do I need to know how to code to use Burhan?
No. You upload your docs, review the journeys Burhan writes in plain language, and read the bug reports.
Stop fixing flaky end-to-end tests.
Bring your docs and your staging link. Burhan writes the journeys and runs them.
