Cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that empowers developers to write and execute tests directly in the browser.
Cypress enables us to perform various types of tests, ranging from integration tests to API tests. In this article, our focus will be on end-to-end tests (E2E).
What exactly are E2E tests, and why do we conduct them? End-to-end (E2E) testing is a software testing methodology that verifies the working order of a software product in a start-to-finish process. It ensures that all components of a system can run under real-world scenarios.
In this article, we will go through the basics of conducting tests using Cypress, focusing on a hands-on approach. Our testing playground? A simple to-do list application built with React. With this in mind, it’s essential to note that a basic understanding of React is recommended to grasp and follow along with the examples fully.
