Course Outline
Day 1 – Introduction & Basics
Introduction
- Understanding the role of Cypress within the testing pyramid.
- Setting up the test automation environment (Node LTS, npm).
- Creating a minimal Cypress project structure.
- Writing the first "smoke" E2E test in both GUI and headless modes.
Core Concepts
- Cypress fundamentals, including the command queue and automatic retry mechanisms.
- Utilizing hooks: before, beforeEach, afterEach, and after.
- Employing aliases and reusability techniques (.as(), cy.get('@alias')).
API (Contract) Testing
- Conducting direct API testing using Cypress (cy.request()).
- Stubbing APIs with cy.intercept() for handling edge cases.
- Ensuring stability in frontend-backend integration.
Custom Cypress Commands
- Organizing repetitive actions, such as login and navigation, into custom commands.
- Achieving cleaner, more maintainable code through reusable calls (e.g., cy.login()).
Schedule: theory + demo + hands-on exercises Prerequisites: basic JS knowledge, VSCode, Git
Day 2 – Advanced Practices & CI/CD
Building Complex Tests
- Automating complete user workflows.
- 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 fixtures.
- Running parameterized tests that execute the same logic with multiple inputs.
Cypress Plugins
- Reporting: mochawesome, allure-cypress, junit-reporter.
- Interactions: cypress-file-upload, cypress-real-events.
- Accessibility: cypress-axe, cypress-audit.
- Visual regression: cypress-image-snapshot.
- Maintainability: @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 upon push or pull request (PR).
- Securely managing secrets.
