Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

You want to speed up a test suite with 10 tests that require login. Which approach best uses cy.session() to optimize speed and reliability?

AUse <code>cy.session()</code> once in a <code>before</code> hook to cache login for all tests

BUse <code>cy.session()</code> inside each test to cache login separately

CAvoid <code>cy.session()</code> and run full login steps in every test

DUse <code>cy.session()</code> in <code>afterEach</code> to cache login after tests

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand before vs beforeEach hooks
before runs once before all tests, beforeEach runs before every test.
Step 2: Choose best place for cy.session()
Using cy.session() in before caches login once, speeding up all 10 tests reliably.
Final Answer:
Use cy.session() once in a before hook to cache login for all tests -> Option A
