Cypress API test framework

This is an example repo on how to use Cypress to run API integration tests against http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/

Libraries and plugins used

Dependencies

To run the tests, please ensure you have the following installed:

  • Node
  • NPM

Why use Cypress

  • No other dependencies required to run tests as Cypress contains everything you need.
  • Setup is minimal
  • Cypress supports BDD and TDD style assertion syntax so this would already be familiar to engineers who have used other JavaScript testing libraries.
  • Cypress Test Runner useful in debugging your tests. You can also directly inspect from Chrome dev tools.

How to run

Clone the repo and Install the project dependencies npm i

To run the tests on your terminal, run npm run cy:test

To run the tests against the Cypress Test Runner, run npm run cypress open

Once the test runner has loaded, click on the spec file you wish to test.
