E2E testing made easy with Cypress

By Rowdy Rabouw

Elevator Pitch

End-to-End testing is usually a manual job going through multiple test scripts over and over again.

What if we could automate that and run them at will or as part of Continuous Integration? Cypress offers that and more, like time travel and real-time reloads when you make changes to your tests.

Description

Testing is a vital part of software development. We all write automated unit and integration tests (right?). However, in my experience, End-to-End testing is usually a manual job going through multiple test scripts over and over again.

What if we could automate that with ease and run those tests at will or as part of Continuous Integration? Cypress offers just that and more, like time travel and real-time reloads when you make changes to your tests.

In this talk, Rowdy will look at the benefits of Cypress and explain how to set it up, write tests and run them with a big smile on your face.
