In this hands-on guided project, you’ll learn how to use Cypress, a powerful end-to-end testing framework, to ensure your web forms are user-friendly, bug-free, and robust.
We’ll be testing on a real form, simulating actual user interactions to validate form behavior, catch errors, and ensure a smooth experience. Whether you’re a developer, tester, or product manager, this project will equip you with the skills to write automated tests for form validation and error handling, making you a more effective collaborator in building high-quality web applications. Through step-by-step exercises, you’ll: - Write automated tests to validate user input and ensure forms behave as expected. - Simulate user interactions like typing, submitting, and clearing forms. - Test error messages and handle edge cases to catch bugs early. - Organize tests for maintainability and scalability, making them easier to update and reuse. By the end of this project, you’ll be able to: - Confidently write Cypress tests for complex forms. - Test error messages for invalid emails, passwords, and credit cards. - Organize tests with custom commands for scalability. - Ensure your web applications provide a seamless user experience. This project is perfect for: - Developers who want to test their code and catch bugs early. - Testers/QA Engineers looking to automate form validation tests. you should have basic knowledge of JavaScript and web development is helpful but not required.
