About Cypress
Cypress is a modern, JavaScript-based end-to-end test automation framework designed specifically for web applications. Unlike Selenium, Cypress runs directly inside the browser, giving testers fast, reliable, and real-time execution with automatic waiting and time-travel debugging.
It supports UI Automation, API Testing, BDD, Visual Validation, Mocking & Stubbing, and Cross-Browser Execution. Cypress Test Runner allows live test monitoring and DOM inspection with an interactive playground. With its unique architecture, it handles asynchronous actions seamlessly and provides built-in capabilities for retries, screenshots, videos, and debugging.
Learn Cypress from scratch and master real-time automation using modern frameworks, CI/CD integration (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and best practices to build robust automation frameworks.
Who Should Join?
- Freshers
- Manual Testers moving to Automation
- QA Engineers / Test Analysts
- JavaScript Developers
- BPO / Non-IT Professionals
Pre-requisites
NO PRIOR AUTOMATION experience required – JavaScript basics will be covered from scratch.
