Description
Automated testing is a vital part of modern application development. Of course, website development is no exception - you must be able to run automated tests to efficiently detect bugs and regressions.
This course teaches you how to write and run end-to-end (E2E) tests with Cypress - one of the most popular web development E2E testing tools can you can use these days!
You will learn:
What exactly Cypress is and why E2E testing matters
How to install and use Cypress
How to write and run E2E tests with Cypress
How to simulate realistic website user flows by selecting elements and simulating user interaction (button clicks, keyboard typing & more)
How to write good assertions (and what assertions are)
Which core features and concepts Cypress offers
How to use basic and more advanced Cypress concepts
How to efficiently test third-party code
How to deal with network (HTTP) requests and databases
How to test user authentication flows
And much more!
All these topics will be taught from the ground up, with no prior Cypress knowledge required! You do need basic web development and JavaScript knowledge though.
This course focuses on the core Cypress concepts and explores all basic as well as various more advanced Cypress features.
By the end of this course, you'll have a solid set of Cypress fundamentals and you'll be ready to dive deeper into Cypress and end-to-end testing!
Who this course is for:
- Intermediate web developers who have no or very little (end-to-end) testing experience
- Web developers who want to add automated end-to-end tests to their projects

Experience as (Web) Developer
Starting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer and consultant. The success and fun I have in this job is immense and really keeps that passion burningly alive.
Starting web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel, NodeJS, Python) I also became more and more of a frontend developer using modern frameworks like React, Angular or VueJS in a lot of projects. I love both worlds nowadays!
I also build full-stack applications and acquired expert DevOps and cloud computing knowledge - proven by the many AWS certifications I hold (incl. the top-level Solutions Architect Professional certification).
As a self-taught developer I had the chance to broaden my horizon by studying Business Administration where I hold a Master's degree. That enabled me to work in a major strategy consultancy as well as a bank. While learning, that I enjoy development more than these fields, the time in this sector greatly improved my overall experience and skills.
Experience as Instructor
As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enables me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses and more than 2,000,000 students on Udemy is the best proof for that.
Whether working as development instructor or teaching Business Administration I always received great feedback. The most rewarding experience is to see how people find new, better jobs, build awesome web applications, acquire amazing projects or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of my content.
Together with Manuel Lorenz, I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience to our more than 2,000,000 students.
