What are the Cypress best practices for test automation?
Hi Dipen,
Cypress uses code-driven testing and works exceptionally well for both unit and integration testing. Cypress also has features that make it a great candidate for end-to-end (E2E) testing, including support for WebDriver, headless browser testing and running tests asynchronously.
In Cypress, end-to-end tests are written in JavaScript, just like unit tests. They run in the browser and have full control over the page. Because of this, Cypress is able to test things that most other tools can’t, including behaviors that require user interaction or access to the DOM of an HTML page.
This makes Cypress perfect for testing complex components such as dropdowns and date pickers, as well as any other widget that needs to be interacted with by a person using the application.
Cypress also supports asynchronous commands, which means you can use it to test applications that need to make asynchronous calls to your backend. This could include anything from sending an email or making a call to your server that might take a few seconds before returning a response.
