About this Cypress automation course
This Cypress automation course teaches end-to-end testing with Cypress from zero to a complete test suite. It has 8 sections and 40 lessons, about 19 hours of study, with a hands-on lab and an assessment in every section and a final project on a practice shop.
You start with Cypress foundations and stable selectors, then learn commands, assertions and retry-ability so tests stop flaking. Later sections cover network control with cy.intercept (stubbing and mocking responses), clocks and browser edge cases, custom commands, test data and fast login with cy.session, API testing with cy.request, TypeScript, running Cypress in GitHub Actions, speed and reporting.
Who this course is for
- Manual testers starting JavaScript test automation
- Front-end developers who want reliable end-to-end tests
- Selenium testers moving to a modern JavaScript tool
- Anyone preparing for Cypress interview questions
What you need
- Basic JavaScript (variables, functions, arrays)
- A laptop with Node.js and a code editor such as VS Code
- Know how a web page and a form work
What you will be able to do
- Write stable Cypress tests with good selectors and assertions
- Use retry-ability instead of fixed waits
- Stub and mock network calls with cy.intercept
- Build custom commands and log in fast with cy.session
- Test APIs with cy.request alongside UI tests
- Run a TypeScript Cypress suite in CI with reports
