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 structure
- Writing the first "smoke" E2E test in both GUI and headless modes
Core Concepts
- Understanding Cypress fundamentals, including the command queue and automatic retry mechanisms
- Utilizing hooks: before, beforeEach, afterEach, after
- Leveraging aliases for reusability (.as(), cy.get('@alias'))
API (Contract) Testing
- Performing direct API tests with Cypress (cy.request())
- Stubbing APIs using cy.intercept() for handling edge cases
- Ensuring stability in frontend-backend integration
Custom Cypress Commands
- Consolidating repetitive actions (such as login and navigation) into custom commands
- Achieving cleaner, more maintainable code through reusable calls like 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
- Preventing flaky tests to enhance stability and performance
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON files (fixtures)
- Executing parameterized tests that run the same logic with various inputs
Cypress Plugins
- Reporting tools: mochawesome, allure-cypress, junit-reporter
- Interaction plugins: 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
