Talk Description

Have you ever wanted to refactor mercilessly but didn't want to break the fragile tower? Or have you ever pushed to production only to spend the next few days cleaning up the regressions?

You need end-to-end tests, and Cypress is a great, fast way to build them.

With a simple JavaScript or TypeScript interface, you can automate browsers to hit those critical functions in your app to prove it works as expected -- this time and every time.

Join us to dive into building Cypress tests and leave with the confidence to refactor your way to greatness.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • What is Cypress and why do I care?
  • What other tools are in this space and when would I use them?
  • How do I get started with Cypress?
  • How do I level-up to interact with the page and handle DOM events?
  • How do I intercept network requests and replace responses with fixtures?
  • What are best practices when building E2E tests?
