1. Introduction to Automation Testing
  • What is automation testing?
  • Automation testing uses tools/scripts to execute tests, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.
  • Why automation is essential in modern software development?
  • It ensures faster releases, consistent quality, and efficient regression testing.
  • Overview of testing types: Unit, Integration, Functional, and Regression.
  • Unit: Test individual components. Integration: Test interactions between components. Functional: Validate the system meets requirements. Regression: Ensure new changes don't break existing functionality.
  • What is Cypress?
  • Cypress is a modern JavaScript-based framework for end-to-end testing of web applications.
  • How to set up Cypress for automation testing?
  • Install Cypress via npm, initialize with `npx cypress open`, and configure your project.
  • Writing your first Cypress test: What are test cases, assertions, and fixtures?
  • Test cases: Define what to test. Assertions: Validate expected vs. actual outcomes. Fixtures: Manage test data.
  • How to handle dynamic elements and manage test data?
  • Use Cypress commands like `cy.get()` with dynamic selectors and configure fixtures for reusable data.
  • What is API testing?
  • API testing validates the request/response of APIs for functionality, reliability, and performance.
  • How to set up Postman for API testing?
  • Download Postman, create an account, and configure collections and environments.
  • Creating and managing collections in Postman.
  • Organize tests into collections for reusability and collaboration.
  • Writing automated API tests with Postman scripts.
  • Use `Pre-request` and `Test` scripts to automate setup and validations.
  • Why JavaScript is essential for automation testing?
  • JavaScript powers modern frameworks (e.g., Cypress) and is versatile for web and API testing.
  • Core JavaScript concepts: Variables, Loops, Functions, and Objects.
  • These are essential building blocks for writing test scripts and automation logic.
  • Writing custom test scripts and reusable functions.
  • Create modular functions to simplify repetitive tasks and enhance code reusability.
  • What is version control?
  • Version control tracks code changes, enabling collaboration and rollback capabilities.
  • How to manage your codebase using Git?
  • Use Git commands like `clone`, `commit`, `push`, and `pull` to manage and share code.
  • Collaborative testing: Using GitHub for version control and code reviews.
  • GitHub facilitates team collaboration through branches, pull requests, and code reviews.
  • What is CI/CD?
  • Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) automate testing and deployment.
  • How to integrate your tests into pipelines?
  • Add test commands in pipeline tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
  • Setting up automated test execution in pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
  • Use pipeline scripts (e.g., `Jenkinsfile`) or YAML configurations for GitHub Actions.
  • How to debug test failures?
  • Analyze logs, screenshots, or use debug tools to identify issues.
  • Generating test reports and sharing results.
  • Use tools like Allure or built-in reporters in Cypress/Postman to generate sharable reports.
  • Best practices for test documentation.
  • Document test objectives, steps, and results for better tracking and knowledge sharing.
