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

The video tutorial covers optimizing test scripts in Cypress by using aliasing to manage locators efficiently. It explains the difference between console.log in JavaScript and Cypress's logging methods, highlighting the asynchronous nature of Cypress commands. The tutorial also delves into handling non-Cypress commands by manually resolving promises and demonstrates how to use assertions to verify expected outcomes in tests. Key concepts include aliasing, logging, asynchronous command handling, and assertions in Cypress.

What is the primary purpose of using aliasing in Cypress?

• To simplify the installation process

• To reuse locators efficiently

• To reduce the number of test cases

• To increase the speed of test execution

How does aliasing help when an object changes in the code?

• It automatically updates all instances of the object

• It prevents the object from changing

• It duplicates the object

• It deletes the object

Where does console.log output appear when using Cypress?

• In the terminal

• In the browser's developer tools

• In the Cypress dashboard

• In the test report

What is a key difference between console.log and cy.log in Cypress?

• console.log is more secure

• console.log is specific to Cypress

• cy.log is faster

• cy.log is a Cypress command and maintains sequence

Why might a console.log statement print out of sequence in Cypress?

• Because console.log is asynchronous

• Because console.log is deprecated

• Because Cypress is synchronous

• Because Cypress does not support console.log

How can you ensure a non-Cypress command runs in sequence?

• By using cy.pause

• By using cy.screenshot

• By manually resolving promises

• By using cy.wait

What library does Cypress use for assertions?

• Mocha

• Jasmine

• Chai

• QUnit

What is the purpose of assertions in Cypress tests?

• To speed up test execution

• To log test results

• To compare actual and expected values

• To generate test reports

Which method is used in Cypress to check if an element has a specific text?

• cy.contains

• cy.text

• cy.should

• cy.verify

What does the 'should' command in Cypress do?

• It logs information to the console

• It performs an assertion

• It retries a failed test

• It pauses the test execution
