+### Before Running Tests
+A test url is needed to perform the tests in local:
+```bash
+export CYPRESS_TEST_URL=http://your-test-url.com
+```
+Note: most of the time, if you are testing in local, you can use:
+```bash
+export CYPRESS_TEST_URL=http://localhost:8080/
+```
+
 ### Run unit Tests
 ```bash
 npm run test:unit
