This plugin `netlify-plugin-cypress` by default runs during the “onSuccess” event, testing the deployed site. The Netlify Build system gives the URL to the plugin and it runs Cypress against that URL using the [Cypress NPM module API](https://on.cypress.io/module-api).

Optionally, you can also run tests during “preBuild” and “postBuild” steps. This is useful if you want to ensure the site is working even before deploying it to Netlify servers. Finally, this plugin does not use “onFailure” event which happens only if Netlify fails to deploy the site.
