Cypress - Modern Automation Testing from Scratch + Framework - Handling Async Promises with Cypress

The video tutorial covers optimizing tests in Cypress using aliasing, which allows for reusing locators without repeated declarations. It explains the difference between console.log and cy.log, highlighting how Cypress handles asynchronous operations. The tutorial also delves into manually resolving promises for non-Cypress commands and demonstrates how to use assertions to verify expected values in tests.

What is the main advantage of using aliasing in Cypress?

• It allows for faster execution of tests.

• It helps in reusing locators without repetitive code.

• It automatically resolves all promises.

• It provides better error messages.

How does Cypress handle console.log differently from traditional JavaScript?

• It logs messages in the browser's developer tools.

• It does not support console.log.

• It logs messages in a separate file.

• It logs messages in the test runner.

Why does Cypress execute commands asynchronously?

• To handle network requests efficiently.

• Because it runs directly in the browser.

• To ensure commands are executed in order.

• To improve test speed.

What is the purpose of manually resolving promises in Cypress?

• To ensure commands execute in sequence.

• To improve test readability.

• To speed up test execution.

• To handle network requests.

Which library does Cypress use for assertions?

• QUnit

• Jasmine

• Chai

• Mocha

What is the role of the 'should' command in Cypress?

• To perform assertions on elements.

• To log messages to the console.

• To define test cases.

• To handle asynchronous operations.

How can you verify that an element has a specific text in Cypress?

• Using cy.get().assert()

• Using cy.get().should('have.text')

• Using cy.get().text()

• Using cy.get().contains()

What is the benefit of using aliasing for locators in Cypress?

• It provides better error handling.

• It speeds up the test execution.

• It allows for centralized updates if locators change.

• It reduces the need for manual promise resolution.

What happens when you use cy.log in Cypress?

• It logs messages to the network tab.

• It logs messages to the console.

• It logs messages to the test runner.

• It logs messages to a file.

What is the main takeaway from the Cypress tutorial?

• Cypress requires manual promise resolution for non-Cypress commands.

• Cypress is faster than Selenium.

• Cypress uses aliasing to optimize tests.

• Cypress does not support assertions.
