When you select a a test step action, you jump to that point in time and the location in the source code where the Cy action was executed.

Step events

The timeline shows relevant network events and lets you jump to the request in the Network monitor.

Step details

Selecting a step shows the step details below with the ability to jump from the test subject to the element in the Elements panel.

Time Travel
