Cypress: Full-stack Test Automation with TypeScript, Cypress, RESTful API, GraphQL, and Databases
Course Overview: A professional-grade Cypress test automation curriculum combining TypeScript’s robustness with modern testing practices. Includes 18+ hands-on modules covering everything from basic element interaction to enterprise-scale test orchestration.
Course Description
This comprehensive course provides complete mastery of modern test automation using TypeScript with Cypress, covering UI testing, REST API testing, GraphQL, and database validation. It offers students deep understanding of TypeScript’s static typing system and its advantages in building maintainable test frameworks. Cypress.io is a next-generation testing tool that executes tests in the same run loop as the application, providing unmatched speed and reliability. The course emphasizes TypeScript’s benefits for large-scale test maintenance through: - Type-safe element selectors and network request handling - Interface-driven API response validation - Class-based Page Object patterns with inheritance - Compile-time error checking for test logic We begin with foundational TypeScript programming concepts, progressing through advanced Cypress features including: - Cross-browser testing with Chrome, Firefox, and Electron - Visual regression testing - CI/CD pipeline integration - Dockerized test execution - Parallel test execution strategies Special attention is given to real-world scenarios with future-proof booking dates (2025–2030) to ensure long-term relevance of the training materials.
