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 your 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() to handle edge cases
- Ensuring stable integration between frontend and backend
Custom Cypress Commands
- Organising repetitive actions (such as login and navigation) into custom commands
- Writing cleaner, more maintainable code through reusable calls (e.g., cy.login())
Schedule: Theory, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises Prerequisites: Basic JavaScript knowledge, VSCode, and Git
Day 2 – Advanced Practices & CI/CD
Building Complex Tests
- Automating complete user flows
- Managing state with cy.intercept and cy.session
- Avoiding flaky tests to improve stability and execution speed
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON files (fixtures)
- Running parameterised tests with the same logic across 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
- Integration with GitHub Actions
- Setting up the Node.js and Cypress environment for headless execution
- Automatic test runs triggered by push or pull request
- Secure management of secrets and credentials
