What you'll learn:
- JavaScript fundamentals for beginners in the programming
- How to set up and configure Cypress
- How to build locators for any Web Elements using powerful jQuery Selector Engine built-in Cypress (forget about X-Path)
- How to interact and automate any kind of web components
- What is API. How to interact with APIs, mock API response and make assertions. Also how to create test data precondition using API calls
- How to organize and reuse code with Page Object design pattern.
- How to configure multiple custom reporters, retry logic for failed tests and run tests in Docker container
- Parallel test execution, Cypress Dashboard, Cross Browser and Visual testing
This comprehensive course provides complete mastery of the Cypress testing framework, a modern JavaScript-based automation tool that includes everything you need out of the box: Test Runner, assertion libraries, reporters, and seamless integration capabilities. Cypress executes tests in the same run loop as your application, delivering exceptional performance and speed.
