As a developer, checking the cross browser compatibility of your CSS properties is of utmost importance when building your website. I have often found myself excited to use a CSS feature only to discover that it’s still not supported on all browsers. Even if it is supported, the feature might be experimental and not work consistently across all browsers. Ask any front-end developer about using a CSS feature whose support is still in the experimental phase in most prominent web browsers. ????

Automating testing is a crucial step in the development pipeline of a software product. In an agile development environment, where there is continuous development, deployment, and maintenance of software products, automation testing ensures that the end software products delivered are error-free.

When working on web automation with Selenium, I encountered scenarios where I needed to refresh pages from time to time. When does this happen? One scenario is that I needed to refresh the page to check that the data I expected to see was still available even after refreshing. Another possibility is to clear form data without going through each input individually.

As part of one of my consulting efforts, I worked with a mid-sized company that was looking to move toward a more agile manner of developing software. As with any shift in work style, there is some bewilderment and, for some, considerable anxiety. People are being challenged to leave their comfort zones and embrace a continuously changing, dynamic working environment. And, dare I say it, testing may be the most ‘disturbed’ of the software roles in agile development.

When I started writing tests with Cypress, I was always going to use the user interface to interact and change the application’s state when running tests.
