Objectives:

• define what end-to-end testing is and explain its importance
• use the Cypress GUI to write tests and interact with Elements
• use Cypress to test controlled input
• run all tests in without any UI

Starter Code:

Testing

• Unit testing
• Integration testing
• End-to-end testing

Commands to get started:

You can quickly add Cypress to an application and get started with end-to-end testing.

For today we make sure we are in the cypress-end-to-end directory and then we can run the following commands in our terminal:

npm install --save-dev cypress

npx cypress open

When you run the last command for the first time the Cypress GUI will pop up with a lot of example tests.

You could click on any of these and run through a few to get an idea of how the GUI works and also take a look at the new cypress folder in your project.
