 # Automated tests
 
-## Cypress
-
-Feature and user interface tests are implemented with [`cypress`](https://www.cypress.io/) and can be found in the
-[`tests/cypress`](https://github.com/cal-itp/benefits/tree/main/tests/cypress) directory in the repository.
-
-See the [`cypress` Command Line](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/command-line) guide for more information.
-
-### Running
-
-These are instructions for running `cypress` locally on your machine, _without_ the [devcontainer](../development/README.md#vs-code-with-devcontainers). These steps
-will install `cypress` and its dependencies on your machine. Make sure to run these commands in a Terminal.
-
-1. Ensure you have Node.js and NPM available on your local machine:
-
-   ```bash
-   node -v
-   npm -v
-   ```
-
-   If not, [install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) locally.
-
-1. Start the local eligibility verification server:
-
-   ```bash
-   docker compose up --detach server
-   ```
-
-1. Start the the application:
-
-   ```bash
-   docker compose run --detach --service-ports client bin/test_start.sh
-   ```
-
-1. Change into the `cypress` directory:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd tests/cypress
-   ```
-
-1. Install all packages and `cypress`. Verify `cypress` installation succeeds:
-
-   ```bash
-   npm install
-   ```
-
-1. Run `cypress` with test environment variables and configuration variables:
-
-   ```bash
-   CYPRESS_baseUrl=http://localhost:8000 npm run cypress:open
-   ```
-
-See `tests/cypress/package.json` for more cypress scripts.
-
-As of Cypress 12.5.1 with Firefox 109, there is a CSRF issue that prevents the tests from passing; unclear if this is a bug in Cypress or what. Use one of the other browser options.

 ## Pytest
 
 The tests done at a request/unit level are run via [pytest-django](https://pytest-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
