Course Outline
Day 1 – Introduction & Basics
Introduction

- Setting up the test automation environment (Node LTS, npm)
- Creating a minimal Cypress project
- Conducting the first "smoke" E2E test in both GUI and headless modes
Core Concepts
- Cypress fundamentals, command queue, and automatic retry mechanisms
- Utilizing 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() for edge cases
- Ensuring stability in frontend-backend integration
Custom Cypress Commands
- Organizing repetitive actions (such as login and navigation) into custom commands
- Writing cleaner, maintainable code with reusable calls (cy.login())
Schedule: theory + demo + hands-on exercises Prerequisites: basic JS knowledge, VSCode, Git
Day 2 – Advanced Practices & CI/CD
Building Complex Tests
- Automating complete user flows
- State control using cy.intercept and cy.session
- Preventing flaky tests and improving stability and speed
Data-Driven Testing
- Storing test data in JSON files (fixtures)
- Executing parameterized tests with the same logic across multiple inputs
Cypress Plugins

- Visual regression: cypress-image-snapshot
- Maintainability: @testing-library/cypress, cypress-plugin-tab
CI/CD with Cypress
