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.
