Gain real-world knowledge for making Next.js websites more reliable through smart testing. You will start this course by understanding the basics of Next.js and how files are organized, and data is fetched. Then, you will explore Cypress, a tool that helps you test your website to ensure everything works as expected.

In this course, you will learn the ins and outs of Cypress by selecting elements and making assertions. Next, you will learn how to test a real-world Next.js application and get hands-on experience writing end-to-end and component tests from scratch.

By the end of this course, you will have the required skills to set up a comprehensible Cypress test suit that can test any web application. Whether you are a seasoned Next.js developer or just getting started, this course empowers you to elevate your testing game, contributing to the overall quality and reliability of your Next.js applications.

It waits indefinitely until the elements become actionable.

It waits for a fixed amount of time and then proceeds regardless of the elements' state.

It retries the commands until the elements become actionable within a certain timeframe.

It skips the interaction with elements and moves on to the next command.

What does Cypress do when executing commands that interact with elements?

What does Cypress do when executing commands that interact with elements?

To avoid testing the same functionality multiple times

To prioritize critical features of the application

Why is careful planning necessary for building end-to-end tests?

It checks that an element is visible on the page.

It waits for an element to become clickable.

It asserts that an element has a specific value or state.

API routes respond to various HTTP methods, while regular webpages primarily respond to GET requests.

API routes typically return JSON data, while regular webpages return HTML markup.

You need to configure Cypress to handle testing API routes as well.

Cypress automatically waits for the request's response and asserts its success.
