Description

Cypress is a modern test automation framework for web-based frontend apps. Learning Cypress will help you overcome the shortcomings of conventional testing solutions such as dependency graph problems, the steep learning curve in setting up end-to-end testing packages, and difficulties in writing explicit time waits for your tests. In End-to-End Web Testing with Cypress, you’ll learn how to use different Cypress tools, including time travel, snapshots, errors, and console output, to write fail-safe and non-flaky tests. You’ll discover techniques for performing test-driven development (TDD) with Cypress and write cross-browser tests for your web applications. As you advance, you’ll implement tests for a sample application and work with a variety of tools and features within the Cypress ecosystem. Finally, this Cypress book will help you grasp advanced testing concepts such as visual testing and networking. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills you need to be able to set up Cypress for any web app and understand how to use it to its full potential.

Who is this book for?

This book is for automation testing professionals, software and web testers, and frontend web developers who have intermediate-level JavaScript and beginner-level test automation knowledge, as well as for complete beginners who are looking to get started with Cypress and learn how it works. You’ll also find this book useful if you are a Selenium tester who wants to migrate to Cypress and leverage its capabilities. An intermediate-level understanding of JavaScript programming and beginner-level knowledge of web testing are required.

An excellent book to begin the journey into Cypress Test automation. There is a great deal of information on the web but sometimes becomes more difficult to follow. I am pleased to have found this book, I could follow code implementation examples easily. In addition, this book also covers subjects advanced in Cypress which is quite useful to become a pro in this subject.

I like everything about this book.

John Shiver Apr 18, 2021

I work as a backend engineer and read round 20 engineering books each year to broaden existing skillset or to learn a new one. Out of those books around 2 or 3 are good enough to level up a target skill completely. This is one of those books. I have 7 years experience as a backend engineer, rarely working on front end projects, but in my current role automated web testing is vital to our engineering team's success, so I wanted to fill the gaps in my knowledge by reading this book.End to End web testing with cypress includes everything you need to go from 0 -> productive with Cypress. It combines practical, working examples with succinct explanations to cover the core elements of front end testing. By the end, you'll have enough working examples to start testing your own applications, and enough breadth of knowledge to know which questions to ask when you run into issues. The material itself is fairly easy to understand, if you have some engineering experience you should be able to comfortably work through all the material in a weekend.As for criticism, I do wish the code examples were set up with docker, I prefer not to install a bunch of new tools on my system if possible. That said, it wasnt terribly difficult to get everything working. It also would have been nice to have a history of cypress / who worked on it + how it came to be. It does include a nice section contrasting Cypress with Selenium (which I was more familiar with), which was very useful.

This book definitely has a lot of good information on testing and even though I'm not using cypress at work, It's still great to know for any other projects

This book is about applying end-to-end tests with Cypress. For me, Cypress is the best tool if you want to learn end-to-end tests in a practical way. I recommend having a basic knowledge of web testing, and also some knowledge of JavaScript before reading this book.The book shows you the main elements of Cypress, including its installation, the CLI, test files, assertions, the GUI, debugging, Cypress main commands, the test execution order, how to interact with the DOM, and many other elements.It also shows you how to implement some basic TDD scenarios, and it highlights very valuable tricks, such as the Cypress “selector playground” that allows you to interact easily with the DOM.The author did an excellent job explaining every concept and detail. You really feel you are understanding every paragraph and piece of code. He uses excellent examples, with proper screenshots, many recaps during the chapters, and suggests very useful exercises.If you want to learn end-to-end testing or Cypress, I think this book is the right choice.
