Overview of this book

Cypress is a modern test automation framework for web-based frontend apps. Learning Cypress will help you overcome the shortcomings of conventional testing solutions such as dependency graph problems, the steep learning curve in setting up end-to-end testing packages, and difficulties in writing explicit time waits for your tests. In End-to-End Web Testing with Cypress, you’ll learn how to use different Cypress tools, including time travel, snapshots, errors, and console output, to write fail-safe and non-flaky tests. You’ll discover techniques for performing test-driven development (TDD) with Cypress and write cross-browser tests for your web applications. As you advance, you’ll implement tests for a sample application and work with a variety of tools and features within the Cypress ecosystem. Finally, this Cypress book will help you grasp advanced testing concepts such as visual testing and networking. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills you need to be able to set up Cypress for any web app and understand how to use it to its full potential.

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how Cypress enforces actionability for elements by ensuring that they are in the correct state before commands are performed on the elements. We learned that Cypress checks for visibility, disability, DOM detachment, readonly modes, animations, covering, scrolling, and element coordinates before it performs any action on an element. We also went through how Cypress calculates the animation of elements and even how it changes the coordinates when actions are being performed on elements. We also learned that it is possible to override the default checks that Cypress puts in place by forcing actionability in our tests.

Having completed this chapter, I believe you have the skills needed to understand how Cypress determines actionability for elements and also how we can override actionability in our tests to reduce complexity. In the next chapter, we will look at using variables and aliases, and we will dive into reusing variables and aliases...
