🟢Cypress Usage and Configuration

Cypress Coverage on Testing

Software testing encompasses various levels to thoroughly inspect the product from different perspectives, increasing the likelihood of detecting defects. While end-to-end testing is crucial, it only addresses a single layer of testing and typically detects less than 10% of errors within a product. However, this approach has been selected to automate user experiences within processes and identify potential failures that could disrupt the process flow.

Project Configuration Options

The package.json file within the project facilitates the installation of all necessary packages and dependencies for automation. Below is a sample configuration:

JSON

    "delete:reports": "rm -rd cypress/results/* || true && rm mochawesome.json && rm -rd mochawesome-report",

Automation Project Structure

The Cypress automation project should adhere to the following basic folders and file structure:

• cypress/

  • fixtures/

  • integration/

  • plugins/

  • support/

• node_modules/

• cypress.json

• package.json

This structure ensures organization and clarity within the project, facilitating efficient development and maintenance of automated tests.
