Cypress - Modern Automation Testing from Scratch + Framework - Understand How Fixtures Work in Driving Data

The video tutorial explains how to use fixtures in Cypress to manage test data. It covers creating and using JSON files, accessing data in tests, resolving promises, and managing data scope with global variables. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of organizing test data and using Cypress methods to streamline the process.

What does Cypress automatically do when you place data in the fixtures folder?

• It ignores the data.

• It automatically interacts with the JSON files.

• It deletes the data.

• It requires manual configuration to access the data.

Why is it recommended to have one JSON file per test case?

• To reduce the number of files.

• To ensure each test case has its own specific data.

• To make the test cases more complex.

• To avoid using JSON files altogether.

What format should the data in JSON files follow?

• Binary format.

• XML format.

• Key-value pair format with double quotes.

• Plain text format.

Where should the loading of fixtures be written in a test?

• In the test summary.

• In the main test body.

• In the after hook.

• In the before hook.

What must be done to access data from a JSON file in Cypress?

• Ignore the data and use default values.

• Convert the data to XML format.

• Resolve the promise returned by the fixture method.

• Directly use the data without any processing.

What is the scope of a data variable declared within a block?

• It is accessible globally.

• It is accessible in all test cases.

• It is accessible only within that block.

• It is accessible in the entire project.

How can you make a data variable accessible throughout the entire class?

• By using the 'var' keyword.

• By using the 'const' keyword.

• By using the 'this' keyword.

• By using the 'let' keyword.

What does the 'this' keyword refer to in JavaScript?

• The previous function.

• The global object.

• The current function.

• The entire class.

What happens when you run a test with data from a JSON file?

• The test fails automatically.

• The data is ignored.

• The test runs without any data.

• The data is retrieved and used in the test.

What is the benefit of using Cypress's fixture method?

• It complicates the data retrieval process.

• It simplifies accessing JSON files by handling the file path.

• It requires manual path specification.

• It only works with XML files.
