Cypress - Modern Automation Testing from Scratch + Framework - Handling Child Tab with a Combination of Cypress and jQue

The video tutorial explains how Cypress handles child tabs differently from other automation tools like Selenium. It highlights the limitations of Cypress in dealing with child windows due to its architecture aimed at non-flaky automation. The tutorial provides a workaround by manipulating the DOM to open links in the same tab using the target attribute. It introduces the invoke method in Cypress to remove attributes via jQuery functions, ensuring the automation continues smoothly without opening new tabs.
