As tech geek I am a big fan of automating stuff, where stuff means, software development related activities 😆 in context of this post, its software testing automation. It all started when I fist used postman to test my .net based web Restful API's and while playing with that awesome tool, I came to know, it has its brother newman (cli tool) as well. Long story short, it bacame a hebit to make collections of my apis and smooke them after every release in CI/CD through newman and run test on my machine through postman. I think this is enough for building the basis, lets swith the context a little bit.
Recently as a team we decided to choose cypress as testing automation framework amongst couple of others based of following points:
- Its javascript framework, can be used by a developer or a QA to write tests which require basic knowledge of javascript.
- Supports vast varity of tests i.e. End-to-end, Integration and unit tests.
- More attractive features i.e. Network traffic control, automatic waits and screenshoots / videos are most popular ones.
Before I write Part2 of this learning, I must confess, before writing my first automated test, I ran :
npm install cypress -g
Exactally, I installed cypress as global package. Lets see, what if we install it in project scope later down in this series.
