In test automation, maintaining and reusing state between test cases is essential for creating efficient, end-to-end workflows. When writing Cypress tests that interact with APIs, it's common to receive dynamic data from a response—such as an ID, token, or reference number—that you'll need to

Cypress is a powerful tool for end-to-end testing, but sometimes you need to halt execution immediately when a critical failure occurs. Enter Cypress.stop(). This command stops all test execution, ensuring you avoid cascading failures or wasted resources when a prerequisite fails. Let’s explore how to use it effectively.

In modern application development, invoking AWS Lambda functions is essential for various back-end tasks, from simple requests to complex data processing. While tools like Cypress are widely used for front-end testing, it can also be extended to test the integration of back-end services like AWS Lambda. In this article, I’

In the complex world of software development, ensuring quality is crucial. QA professionals rely on a trio of testing techniques: smoke, sanity, and regression. While these terms might sound similar, each serves a unique purpose in the software development lifecycle. Let’s explore these essential quality assurance methods. Smoke Testing:

In an age where technology is rapidly advancing, it's easy to overlook the value of manual testing. Yet, as software development evolves, the role of manual testers remains crucial. Often seen as a lesser discipline, manual testing is, in reality, the backbone of quality assurance (QA) that can

In the agile era, where iterative development and continuous feedback are paramount, the traditional approach of waiting until the testing phase to uncover and fix software errors is increasingly seen as inefficient. Agile methodologies emphasize early and frequent testing, collaboration, and incremental improvements. Here's why waiting until testing

When performing automated tests or making repeated network requests, it's crucial to implement a strategy that prevents overwhelming the server and ensures efficient retries in case of transient failures. One effective approach is the exponential backoff algorithm. This guide will explore how to implement the exponential backoff algorithm

The Test Pyramid is a powerful concept in software development that helps teams allocate their testing efforts efficiently. It emphasizes the importance of a strong foundation of unit tests, complemented by a smaller number of more complex tests at higher levels Unit and integration level tests * API-based tools.

Testing is a crucial aspect of software development that ensures the product meets the desired quality and performance standards. In Agile development, Brian Marick's testing quadrants framework offers a comprehensive approach to categorizing and managing tests. This model helps teams visualize and implement a variety of test types

What is `baseUrl`? In Cypress, `baseUrl` is a configuration setting that acts as the cornerstone for your application under test (AUT). It serves as the root URL, automatically prepended to all `cy.visit()` and `cy.request()` commands that use relative URLs. This simplifies test writing and enhances maintainability by keeping
