Key benefits

  • Write your first end-to-end test and find out how to modernize your testing environment
  • Execute test-driven web development and cross-browser testing using Cypress
  • Discover the advantages of using Cypress over Selenium and refactor testing for modern web apps

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.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with Cypress and understand its advantages over Selenium
  • Explore common Cypress commands, tools, and techniques for writing complete tests for web apps
  • Set up and configure Cypress for cross-browser testing
  • Understand how to work with elements and animation to write non-flaky tests
  • Discover techniques for implementing and handling navigation requests in tests
  • Implement visual regression tests with Applitools eyes

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 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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
