Introduction To Cypress

This lightning talk introduces Cypress, an open source tool for testing web applications. It summarizes that Cypress is faster and more reliable than Selenium for end-to-end testing. It does not use Selenium under the hood. Key features highlighted include the test runner, time travel debugging capabilities, automatic waiting and retries, and support for real-time reloads and network traffic control. Some limitations are that it only supports Chromium currently and does not allow testing across multiple tabs, browsers or domains.

Time Travel
We can check DOM snapshot for each test step.

11
Automatic Waiting & Retry
We can focus on what to test.
it('adds 2 todos', function () {
cy.visit('/')
cy.get('.new-todo')
.type('learn testing{enter}')
.type('be cool{enter}')
cy.get('.todo-list li')
.should('have.length', 2)
})
12
Debuggability
We can debug our application.

Many other good parts!
• Real time reloads
• Spies, stubs, and clocks
• Network traffic control
• Consistent results
• Screenshots and videos (headless runner)
• Dashboard (paid feature)

15
Restrictions
• Only support Chromium currently
• Seem to be working on Firefox, IE, Edge
• Not supported (because of its architecture)
• Multiple tabs/browsers
• Multiple domains in one test case

Let's talk about Cypress!
