Automated testing is a vital part of modern application development. Of course, website development is no exception - you must be able to run automated tests to efficiently detect bugs and regressions. This course teaches you how to write and run end-to-end (E2E) tests with Cypress - one of the most popular web development E2E testing tools can you can use these days!

You will learn:

  • What exactly Cypress is and why E2E testing matters
  • How to install and use Cypress
  • How to write and run E2E tests with Cypress
  • How to simulate realistic website user flows by selecting elements and simulating user interaction (button clicks, keyboard typing & more)
  • How to write good assertions (and what assertions are)
  • Which core features and concepts Cypress offers
  • How to use basic and more advanced Cypress concepts
  • How to efficiently test third-party code
  • How to deal with network (HTTP) requests and databases
  • How to test user authentication flows
  • And much more!

All these topics will be taught from the ground up, with no prior Cypress knowledge required! You do need basic web development and JavaScript knowledge though.

This course focuses on the core Cypress concepts and explores all basic as well as various more advanced Cypress features.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid set of Cypress fundamentals and you'll be ready to dive deeper into Cypress and end-to-end testing!
