end to end UI and api test automation using Cypress

 

Cypress is a Test Automation tool. Test Automation has a key role in overall DevOps implementation.

The industry now demands that QA/testers understand programming well. The role in demand now is SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test).

There is no pre-requisite for this course. We start from the very basics of programming and make you learn Javascript We will also cover all aspects of Cypress from basics to advance.

One cannot be a developer without knowing how to maintain source code. We will cover Git/GitHub.

DevOps is the need for most of organizations. We will teach you how to create pipelines in Jenkins.

In the end, we will give you a project you need to complete with an automation framework.

Click here to register for a demo session; our team will be happy to help.

Every session we conduct is a combination of theory and hands-on.

All sessions are recorded which participants can keep with them for lifetime.
