Course Outline
Day 1 – Introduction & Basics
Introduction
- The role of Cypress in the testing pyramid.
- Setting up the test automation environment (Node LTS, npm).
- Creating a minimal Cypress project.
- Running the first 'smoke' E2E test in both GUI and headless modes.
Core Concepts
- Cypress fundamentals, command queue, and automatic retry mechanisms.
- Using hooks: before, beforeEach, afterEach, and after.
- Aliases and reusability (.as(), cy.get('@alias')).
API (Contract) Testing
- Direct API testing with Cypress (cy.request()).
- API stubbing with cy.intercept() for edge cases.
- Ensuring frontend-backend integration stability.
Custom Cypress Commands
- Organising repetitive actions (such as login and navigation) into custom commands.
- Writing cleaner, maintainable code with reusable calls (cy.login()).
Schedule: theory + demo + hands-on exercises Prerequisites: basic JS knowledge, VSCode, Git.
Day 2 – Advanced Practices & CI/CD
Building Complex Tests
- Automating full user flows.
- State control using cy.intercept and cy.session.
- Avoiding flaky tests, improving stability and speed.
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON files (fixtures).
- Parameterised tests running 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
- GitHub Actions integration.
- Setting up the Node.js and Cypress environment, including headless execution.
- Automatic test runs on push/PR.
- Secure handling of secrets.
