Opleiding: End-to-end testing with Cypress

Using the browser to test that your web application does what it should do

Cypress is a proven solid end-to-end test framework with lots of features. What makes Cypress special is its synchronous API by gathering commands that it then executes on the browser. It also offers a very friendly visual debugger that allows developers to move forward and backward through all the steps of a test.
During this training, we'll fully engage with Cypress by configuring the project and the IDE, writing a lot of tests, running and debugging those tests using the Cypress test runner, define reusable bits of code using App Actions as well as dealing with different scenarios such as authentication, the Shadow DOM, timeouts and intercepting HTTP requests. We'll be using TypeScript during the training as we believe this benefits the readability and maintainability of the test code.
