Writing Effective End-to-End Component Tests with Cypress
In the ever-evolving world of web development, end-to-end (E2E) testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and robustness of web applications. E2E testing simulates real-world user scenarios, covering all aspects of an application, including user interfaces, APIs, databases, and other integrations.
One of the tools that developers often use for E2E testing is Cypress. Cypress is a freely available comprehensive testing solution for web applications, created with the aim of simplifying and optimizing the testing workflow for developers. What sets Cypress apart from other testing frameworks is its ability to execute tests directly in the browser, offering developers enhanced control and insight into the application being tested.
In this chapter, we will focus on how to write effective E2E tests for a calculator application using Cypress. We will explore the basics of Cypress, the structure of tests, and some...
