Cypress, an end-to-end testing framework, has become a popular choice among front-end developers to test their applications with a fast, easy-to-use, and reliable testing tool. It allows you to test your applications with a fast, easy-to-use, and reliable testing tool. It can help you improve your site by capturing bugs before they reach production.

In this course, you'll start off with the basics of Cypress, learn why Cypress is a great choice, how it works, and how you can create robust test cases with its help. In this course, you'll start off with the basics of Cypress, learn why it is a great choice, how it works, and how we can create robust test cases. We will also ensure that our site is usable by the widest possible audience by integrating Axe by Deque, an accessibility engine.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation to enhance the quality of your front-end application and learn more advanced concepts to take your E2E testing to the next level.

Frontend End-to-End Testing with Cypress

In the "[Fixtures and Integration](https://www.educative.io/courses/frontend-testing-cypress/fixtures-and-integration)" lesson, we briefly talked about different ways to organize our test files:

- Organizing by functionality
- Organizing by components
- Organizing by different pages (the approach we will follow in this course)
- Organizing until we feel comfortable with the setup

In this lesson, we will look at organizing individual spec files using an easy to implement, yet powerful approach.

It massively improves the readability of our test cases while making them easily reusable throughout the application.

This approach organizes test cases into different steps.

# Organizing tests into different steps

As discussed earlier, we will demonstrate the power of Cypress through testing its own website, cypress<span>.io</span>. Let's say we want to start with the home page and verify the following things:

- The cookie policy banner appears as expected.
- The video and the features section are available on the page.
- The carousels are working as expected.

For this, we have a file in the "integration" folder called `home.js` that has the following test cases:
