About this Guided Project

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

  1. Learners will install and set up Cypress, create JSON files for test data, and store them properly. These files will be used to dynamically inject data into test cases, enabling data-driven testing.

  2. Learners will write a Cypress test to retrieve data from a JSON file, input it into a web form, and assert that the correct values are used during execution.

  3. Learners will implement a method to randomly select a JSON file from a directory and use its data for testing, ensuring diverse test coverage with varying input values.

  4. Learners will use Cypress to intercept API requests, handle delays, and inspect responses to verify that the application processes and handles API data correctly .

  5. Learners will intercept and mock API requests in Cypress, modify responses, and validate application behavior to ensure it processes data correctly with mocked APIs .

Recommended experience

Basic JavaScript skills.

Basic Cypress knowledge, including writing and running test cases.
