         cy.visit('https://docs.cypress.io');
         cy.contains('Getting Started').click();
         cy.url().should('include', '/getting-started');
       });
     });

Step 6: Running Cypress Tests

1. Run Tests from Cypress Test Runner:

   • With the Cypress Test Runner open, click on the test file you created (e.g., example_spec.js). This will run your test in the Cypress Test Runner.

2. Run Tests from Command Line:

   • You can also run your tests from the command line using:

     npx cypress run
