Syllabus

Introduction

In this module, we will provide an overview of the course objectives, structure, and expected outcomes. We will also delve into the architecture of Cypress and compare it to Selenium, helping you understand their key differences in automation testing.

Tools Installation And Project Setup

In this module, we will guide you through the installation of NodeJS and Visual Studio Code on both Windows and Mac. We’ll also demonstrate how to set up a Cypress project on each platform to ensure your environment is ready for automation testing.

Cypress Setup And Project Structure

In this module, we will cover how to install Cypress and introduce you to the Cypress Test Runner. You’ll also learn about the folder structure of a Cypress project and how to update Cypress to the latest version for optimal performance.

Getting Started With Cypress Automation

In this module, we will walk you through writing your first Cypress test case and executing tests using various commands. We will also explore how to leverage Visual Studio Code’s Intellisense to improve your Cypress scripting.

Using XPath With Cypress

In this module, we will focus on working with XPath in Cypress, demonstrating the techniques and best practices for using XPath effectively in your test cases.

Deep Dive Into Cypress Concepts

In this module, we will dive deeper into key Cypress commands such as 'get', 'within', and 'find'. You’ll learn how to chain commands together for more efficient tests and work with child elements effectively.

Asynchronous Nature

In this module, we will explain the differences between synchronous and asynchronous behaviors in Cypress. You will also learn how to handle promises and asynchronous operations in your test scripts.

Cypress Assertions

In this module, we will explore how to work with different types of assertions in Cypress, including implicit and explicit assertions, and the most commonly used ones for validating test results.

Web UI Interactions

In this module, we will guide you through various web UI interactions, such as clicking elements in multiple ways, handling checkboxes and dropdowns, and using Cypress commands like trigger and invoke for mouseover actions.

Working With Element List

In this module, we will explore how to interact with lists of elements using commands like 'each' and 'wrap'. We’ll also demonstrate how to manage dynamic dropdowns with auto-suggest features.

Working With Windows-Tabs-Popups-Frames

In this module, we will show you how to handle JavaScript alerts, popups, and confirmation dialogs, as well as manage multiple tabs, windows, and iframes during automation testing.

Common Challenges

In this module, we will address common challenges, such as handling uncaught exceptions and testing scenarios where empty data inputs are involved.

Framework Preparation

In this module, we will focus on framework preparation, including the use of hooks, managing test data with fixtures, and creating custom commands for more maintainable and efficient Cypress tests.

Page Object Model Framework

In this module, we will introduce the Page Object Model framework and guide you through creating and refactoring test suites to improve maintainability and scalability.

Reporting And Cloud Dashboard

In this module, we will teach you how to capture and use screenshots and videos for detailed analysis, generate comprehensive reports, and utilize the Cypress Cloud Dashboard for centralized test monitoring.

Advanced Features

In this module, we will explore advanced features of Cypress, such as configuring environment variables for dynamic test configuration and testing with the Safari WebKit browser.

API Testing Concepts

In this module, we will introduce you to REST API architecture, covering the key components, HTTP methods, and verification strategies necessary for effective API testing.

Cypress API Automation

In this module, we will guide you through automating API requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) in Cypress, using aliases for cleaner code, and incorporating OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication.

Git And GitHub - Version Control System

In this module, we will introduce you to Git and GitHub, covering installation, repository management, and techniques for resolving merge conflicts when working on collaborative projects.

Continuous Integration With Jenkins

In this module, we will teach you how to use Jenkins for continuous integration, including setup, plugin management, and integrating with Git for streamlined project builds.

CSS Selectors - Advanced Locators

In this module, we will cover advanced CSS selector techniques, including using IDs, multiple classes, wildcards, and child node selection for precise and flexible element targeting in Cypress tests.
