Description

This course will guide you through a complete mastery of the Cypress framework, teaching you how to leverage all its essential features. Cypress is a modern, JavaScript-based tool that includes everything you need right from the start: a Test Runner, assertion libraries, reporters, and more. This all-in-one setup makes Cypress extremely fast and efficient! Even if you’re new to JavaScript, there’s no need to worry. Writing automated tests in Cypress feels more like following a sequence of straightforward commands to interact with the browser, rather than traditional programming. It’s primarily a scripting approach within the structure Cypress provides.We'll begin by setting up the test environment and getting familiar with Cypress's core commands and actions. You’ll also learn to identify and work with selectors for web elements in the DOM.In addition to best practices in automated testing, we’ll delve into advanced topics, such as building a testing framework using the Page Object Model—a common approach in real-world projects. You’ll discover how to add screenshots and video recordings to your tests, as well as how to configure reports for your test suites.By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become proficient in Cypress!
