Ultimate Web Automation Testing with Cypress (Second Edition) – Kobo eBook

Test Smarter. Automate Deeper. Ship with Confidence.

Book Description

E2E Testing Was Just the Beginning. Modern Quality Engineering Goes Much Further.

Cypress has become the standard for modern web test automation – and Ultimate Web Automation Testing with Cypress significantly expanded second edition covers every layer of the Cypress testing stack that matters in production. Building on the first edition’s foundation of E2E, component, API, and data-driven testing, this edition adds dedicated coverage of accessibility testing, visual testing, AI-assisted and agentic testing with Cypress, and expanded CI/CD integration across GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, and Docker.

Readers move from setup and first tests through scalable test architecture, advanced authentication, network control, Cypress Cloud, and reporting – with every concept grounded in real project work. A dedicated chapter covers AI-assisted and agentic testing, including how to use AI tools responsibly, while keeping generated tests aligned with project architecture and quality standards.
