Cypress Automation Training and Certification in Dublin, Ireland

Cypress automation training provides participants with the skills to automate end-to-end testing for modern web applications using the Cypress framework. The course covers Cypress installation, test structure, writing test cases, and leveraging its powerful features like real-time reloading and debugging. Participants learn to interact with web elements, handle asynchronous operations, and test dynamic applications effectively. Hands-on exercises focus on creating reusable test scripts, integrating Cypress with CI/CD pipelines, and generating detailed test reports. By the end of the training, attendees gain practical expertise in using Cypress for fast, reliable, and maintainable test automation.

Advanced Cypress Features and Test Case Design

• Working with Dynamic Elements

• Handling elements that appear/disappear dynamically (e.g., AJAX-based elements).

• Using Cypress commands like cy.wait(), cy.should(), and retries for dynamic content.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Custom Commands and Best Practices

• Introduction to custom Cypress commands (Cypress.Commands.add()).

• Reusing code with custom commands to make tests cleaner and more maintainable.

• Best practices for structuring and organizing test cases.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Network Request Handling

• Intercepting and stubbing network requests using cy.intercept().

• Mocking responses to simulate different server conditions.

• Validating network responses and checking API calls in tests.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Test Fixtures and Data Management

• Using fixtures for test data and managing test state.

• Reading data from external files (e.g., JSON or CSV) for data-driven testing.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Summary and Q&A

• Recap of key concepts learned on Day 2.

• Open Q&A session to address any doubts or questions.

Advanced Automation, Debugging, and Reporting

• Cypress Plugins and Integrations

• Using Cypress plugins for extended functionality (e.g., visual testing, screenshot comparison).

• Integrating Cypress with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

• Hands-On Exercise

• Test Execution and Debugging

• Running Cypress tests from the command line and CI/CD.

• Debugging failing tests using Cypress’s interactive mode and browser dev tools.

• Viewing Cypress test results and logs for better debugging.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Parallel Test Execution and Optimizing Test Performance

• Running tests in parallel to reduce execution time.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Generating Reports and Artifacts

• Using Cypress to generate test reports and logs (e.g., HTML reports, video recording of tests).

• Analyzing test results and creating actionable insights.

• Hands-On Exercise

• Final Project and Best Practices
