Course Outline
Day 1 – Introduction & Basics
Introduction
- 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, command queue mechanics, and automatic retry features
- Utilizing hooks: before, beforeEach, afterEach, after
- Aliases and reusability (.as(), cy.get('@alias'))
API (Contract) Testing
- Direct API testing using Cypress (cy.request())
- API stubbing with cy.intercept() for handling edge cases
- Ensuring stability in frontend-backend integration
Custom Cypress Commands
- Consolidating repetitive actions (e.g., login, navigation) into custom commands
- Achieving cleaner, more maintainable code through 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 comprehensive user flows
- State management using cy.intercept and cy.session
- Preventing flaky tests and enhancing stability and execution speed
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON files (fixtures)
- Running parameterized tests that execute the same logic with various inputs
Cypress Plugins
- Reporting tools: mochawesome, allure-cypress, junit-reporter
- Interaction enhancements: cypress-file-upload, cypress-real-events
- Accessibility testing: cypress-axe, cypress-audit
- Visual regression testing: cypress-image-snapshot
- Maintainability improvements: @testing-library/cypress, cypress-plugin-tab
CI/CD with Cypress
- Integrating with GitHub Actions
- Configuring the Node.js and Cypress environment for headless execution
- Automating test runs upon push or pull request events
- Secure handling of sensitive secrets
