Fast, Reliable

End-to-End Testing 🌲

Cypress is the fastest-growing JavaScript testing framework for modern web apps. Master cy.get(), intercept(), fixtures, custom commands, Component Testing, and CI/CD integration. Cypress runs directly in the browser — giving you real-time reloading, time-travel debugging, and automatic waiting for elements.

What You Master

The Complete Cypress Skill Set

From your first cy.visit() to production-grade E2E suites with network mocking, visual testing, and CI/CD.

🌲

Cypress Core & Real-Browser Testing

Cypress runs inside the browser — no Selenium WebDriver layer. Master cy.get() with smart selectors, cy.contains(), assertions with .should(), and chains. Leverage auto-waiting (Cypress waits up to 4 seconds automatically), time-travel debugging with snapshots for each command, and the Cypress Test Runner GUI for real-time test execution and inspection. Write resilient tests that never flake.

📡

Network Interception

cy.intercept() stubs API responses, simulates errors, delays, and offline states. Test UI behavior without a real backend.

👁️

Visual & Component Testing

Cypress Component Testing runs React, Vue, and Angular components in isolation. Combine with Percy for pixel-perfect visual regression across browsers.

☁️

Cypress Cloud

Parallelise test runs across machines, detect flaky tests automatically, and get AI-powered test analytics on Cypress Cloud for every CI run.

⚙️

CI/CD Pipelines

Integrate Cypress into GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and Jenkins — run E2E tests headlessly in Docker containers on every pull request automatically.

Syllabus

Course Curriculum

9 modules from Cypress basics to advanced network mocking, Component Testing, and CI/CD pipelines.

What is Cypress? Architecture vs Selenium vs Playwright
Why Cypress — Auto-Wait, Time-Travel Debugging, Real Browser
Installing Cypress with npm & Project Structure Overview
Writing Your First Cypress Test — cy.visit(), cy.get(), cy.click()
Cypress Configuration — cypress.config.js, baseUrl, timeouts
Running Tests — npx cypress open (GUI) & npx cypress run (headless)

Selectors — data-cy attributes (recommended), CSS, ID, XPath (via plugin)
cy.get() vs cy.contains() vs cy.find() & cy.within()
Chaining Commands — jQuery-style command chains in Cypress
Assertions — .should(), .and(), expect() & assert()
Implicit vs Explicit Assertions & Retry-ability in Cypress
Running Tests in Headless & Headed Mode — Chrome, Edge, Firefox

Handling Input Fields — cy.type(), cy.clear(), cy.check(), cy.select()
Handling Buttons, Dropdowns, Checkboxes & File Uploads
cy.trigger() — Hover, Drag-and-Drop & Custom Events
Handling Alerts, Confirmations & Browser Dialogs
Working with iFrames in Cypress (cypress-iframe plugin)
Page Navigation — cy.go(), cy.reload() & cy.visit() Options

Custom Commands — Cypress.Commands.add() for Reusable Actions
Aliases — .as() for elements, requests, and fixtures
cy.wrap() — Wrapping Values and Promises in Cypress Chains
Cypress.env() — Managing Test Environment Variables
Overriding Default Timeouts per Command
Debugging — cy.log(), cy.pause(), .debug() & Cypress DevTools

cy.intercept() — Stubbing, Spying & Modifying Network Requests
route.fulfill() — Custom Response Bodies and Status Codes
Simulating Network Delays, Errors & Offline States
cy.request() — Making Direct HTTP API Calls from Cypress

What are Fixtures? Loading Static JSON Test Data with cy.fixture()
Using before(), beforeEach(), after(), afterEach() Hooks
Organizing Tests with describe() & context() Blocks
Test Tagging — .only, .skip, @tags for Selective Execution
Environment Configuration — cypress.env.json & CLI --env flag
Page Object Pattern in Cypress — Abstracted Selectors & Actions

Taking Screenshots Automatically on Failure with screenshotsFolder
cy.screenshot() — Manual Screenshots in Tests
Recording Test Videos with Cypress (videosFolder Config)
Visual Regression Testing with Percy — CI Visual Snapshots
Comparing Screenshots for UI Regression Across Browsers
Generating Reports — Mochawesome HTML Reports & Allure for Cypress

What is Cypress Component Testing? How it differs from E2E
Setting Up Component Testing — React, Vue, Angular, Next.js
Mounting Components — cy.mount() API
Writing Component Tests — Props, Events, Slots & Slots
Mocking Context, Store & API Calls in Component Tests
Combining Component Tests with E2E Tests in One Project

Setting Up Cypress in GitHub Actions Workflow (yaml config)
Running Cypress Tests in Docker Containers
GitLab CI and Jenkins Integration with Cypress
Cypress Cloud — Parallelisation, Test Analytics & Flake Detection
