Every year we’re asked to “do more with less” while budgets continue to shrink. As a development team, how do we continue to manage all our responsibilities while taking on even more? Automation.
While developers understand how helpful automated testing can be, getting started can be overwhelming. Finding time to learn and research, as well as designing tests tailored to specific needs, can be daunting. As a result, automated testing is often pushed to the back burner and forgotten due to various constraints.
In this workshop, attendees will gain insight into the benefits of end-to-end testing. This involves testing an application from start to finish, simulating a real user scenario, and testing the application as an integrated whole. Using the Cypress testing framework, we will go hands-on in the setup of the testing framework, and the process of integrating it into our workflows, before writing our first test together. Attendees will leave with a set of tests they can immediately put into practice, and a solid idea of how they can expand those tests to fit their unique needs.
