Hi All, Thank you for visiting my first ever blog...!!! Now a days in software industry Test Automation is very crucial and important; Automation can be of Web, Desktop, API or Mobile reason behind this...???
Yes... !!! you guessed it correctly because everyone wants faster and consistent testing output
Having around 10 years of experience in this industry in Web and API automation testing. Often seen many of us are struggling with robust automation testing framework which gives consistent and reliable result.
Web Automation is always key pain point and while searching various way to reduce this pain I came across to this wonderful tool Cypress.
After working on this tool, I thought to share my findings and understanding with you all enthusiastic and automation lover folks.
This is enough about me and my blog background. Lets start with our New web automation hero "Cypress"
Cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that doesn't use Selenium at all. It is built on top of Mocha, which is again a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on and in the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. In addition, this is free open source, locally installed Test Runner and a Dashboard service for reading your tests.
Cypress is a Node server process. Cypress and the Node process constantly communicate, synchronize, and perform tasks on behalf of each other. Having access to both parts (front and back) gives us the ability to respond to your application’s events in real time, while at the same time work outside of the browser for tasks that require a higher privilege.
Cypress also operates at the network layer by reading and altering web traffic on the fly.
Cypress operates within your application, that means it has native access to every single object. Whether it is the window, the document, a DOM element, your application instance, a function, a timer, a service worker, or anything else - you have access to it in your Cypress tests
Cypress also supports the Mocha test framework so the core technologies in which you would develop your web test automation are Java Script on top of Mocha.
Cypress ultimately controls the entire automation process from top to bottom, which puts it in the unique position of being able to understand everything happening in and outside of the browser which helped to produce more consistent results than any other testing tool.
Cypress helps developers or QA engineers to write different types of tests:
Cypress is most often compared to Selenium; however Cypress is both fundamentally and architecturally different. Cypress is not constrained by the same restrictions as Selenium.
This enables you to write faster, easier and more reliable tests.
1. Setup: There are no servers, drivers, or any other dependencies to install or configure. You can write your first passing test in 60 seconds.
2. Easy Scripting: Tests written in Cypress are meant to be easy to read and understand. Our API comes fully baked, on top of tools you are familiar with already.
3. Execution: Cypress runs as fast as your browser can render content. You can watch tests run in real time as you develop your applications
4. Debugging: Readable error messages help you to debug quickly. You also have access to all the developer tools you know and love.
5. Browser support: Cypress automatically detects available browsers on your OS. Latest Cypress version supports
6. Cypress supports both headless and browser invoke(Normal) execution

Usage
- Unit tests
- Integration tests
- End-to-end tests
- Easy Setup
- has no dependencies
- easy to write and run tests
Cypress is most often compared to Selenium; however Cypress is both fundamentally and architecturally different. Cypress is not constrained by the same restrictions as Selenium.
This enables you to write faster, easier and more reliable tests.
Features
1. Setup: There are no servers, drivers, or any other dependencies to install or configure. You can write your first passing test in 60 seconds.
2. Easy Scripting: Tests written in Cypress are meant to be easy to read and understand. Our API comes fully baked, on top of tools you are familiar with already.
3. Execution: Cypress runs as fast as your browser can render content. You can watch tests run in real time as you develop your applications
4. Debugging: Readable error messages help you to debug quickly. You also have access to all the developer tools you know and love.
5. Browser support: Cypress automatically detects available browsers on your OS. Latest Cypress version supports
- Electron
- Chrome
- Chromium
- Firefox
- Edge.
6. Cypress supports both headless and browser invoke(Normal) execution
In Next post let's do Cypress setup and our first automation script.
