Course Outline
Day 1 – Introduction & Basics
Introduction
- Understanding Cypress's role in the testing pyramid.
- Setting up the test automation environment (Node LTS, npm).
- Creating a minimal Cypress project.
- Writing the first "smoke" E2E test in both GUI and headless modes.
Core Concepts
- Cypress fundamentals, command queue, and automatic retry mechanisms.
- Utilizing hooks: before, beforeEach, afterEach, and after.
- Leveraging aliases and reusability (.as(), cy.get('@alias')).
API (Contract) Testing
- Performing direct API testing with Cypress (cy.request()).
- Stubbing APIs using cy.intercept() for edge cases.
- Ensuring stability in frontend-backend integration.
Custom Cypress Commands
- Organizing repetitive actions (such as login and navigation) into custom commands.
- Writing cleaner, maintainable code through reusable calls (e.g., cy.login()).
Schedule: Theory + Demo + Hands-on Exercises Prerequisites: Basic JavaScript knowledge, VSCode, Git.
Day 2 – Advanced Practices & CI/CD
Building Complex Tests
- Automating comprehensive user flows.
- Managing state with cy.intercept and cy.session.
- Avoiding flaky tests to improve stability and execution speed.
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON fixture files.
- Executing parameterized tests that run the same logic with multiple inputs.
Cypress Plugins
- Reporting tools: mochawesome, allure-cypress, junit-reporter.
- Interaction tools: cypress-file-upload, cypress-real-events.
- Accessibility testing: cypress-axe, cypress-audit.
- Visual regression testing: cypress-image-snapshot.
- Maintainability aids: @testing-library/cypress, cypress-plugin-tab.
CI/CD with Cypress
- Integrating with GitHub Actions.
- Setting up the Node.js and Cypress environment for headless execution.
- Automating test runs on code pushes or pull requests.
- Securely handling secrets.
