This involves organizing tests into logical groups using describe and it blocks, which help categorize tests according to the functionality or feature they test.

Writing E2E test cases was a crucial aspect covered in this chapter. It focused on the use of Cypress commands and assertions to interact with web elements and verify their behavior. The chapter provided examples of how to use commands such as cy.visit(), cy.get(), cy.contains(), cy.type(), and cy.should() to navigate the application, interact with elements, and validate the application state. It stressed the importance of structuring tests in such a way as to move from request to command or assertion, ensuring that tests are deterministic...
