Cypress End to End Testing Tutorial: A Detailed Guide

Software applications nowadays have become increasingly complex, and maximizing test coverage is one of the key aspects for every testing team. Testers globally rely upon different testing types using testing tools and frameworks. But there is an urgent need to test software systems (along with all their sub-systems) from beginning to end.

Difference Between Web And Mobile Application Testing

Smartphones have changed the way humans interact with technology. Be it travel, fitness, lifestyle, video games, or even services, it’s all just a few touches away (quite literally so). We only need to look at the growing throngs of smartphone or tablet users vs. desktop users to grasp this reality.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/31208

Can you discuss Playwright’s emphasis (at least in the documentation) on moving away from Xpath or CSS locators? More resiliency to changes in the DOM seems to be a valid reason for this, but isn’t specificity and potency of locators lost by forgoing DOM selectors?

Here are some of the Q&As from this session:

What are the recommended approaches for managing authentication and sessions in Playwright tests?

Andrew Knight: Use Playwright’s built-in methods for handling authentication, such as setting cookies or using authentication tokens. Manage sessions by utilizing context objects to maintain state across different tests and ensure that authentication and session management are handled securely and consistently.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/31208

What are the good framework approaches we can adopt in playwright ?

Andrew Knight: Adopt frameworks like Playwright Test Runner to organize and manage test suites efficiently. Use custom fixtures for setting up test environments and leverage Playwright’s powerful APIs for handling various testing scenarios and configurations.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/31208

Can you dig into how to test PWAs using Playwright in TypeScript?

Andrew Knight: Testing PWAs with Playwright in TypeScript involves using Playwright’s APIs to simulate user interactions, test offline capabilities, and verify responsiveness. Write tests in TypeScript for type safety, ensuring that your code is robust and maintainable.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/31208

Which is better playwright or cypress and can they be integrated with AI

Andrew Knight: Playwright offers cross-browser testing capabilities and better support for modern web features, while Cypress provides a user-friendly interface and fast execution. Both tools can be integrated with AI to enhance testing capabilities, such as using AI for visual regression testing or intelligent test case generation.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/31208

How much of the web testing with Playwright in Typescript can be automated vs. manual?

Andrew Knight: Most web testing tasks with Playwright can be automated, including functional, integration, and end-to-end tests. Manual testing may be reserved for exploratory testing and cases where automated tests might not cover all user scenarios or interactions.
