An example framework using Cypress to test API
Cypress API test framework
This is an example repo on how to use Cypress to run API integration tests against http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/
Libraries and plugins used
Dependencies
To run the tests, please ensure you have the following installed:
- Node
- NPM
Why use Cypress
- No other dependencies required to run tests as Cypress contains everything you need.
- Setup is minimal
- Cypress supports BDD and TDD style assertion syntax so this would already be familiar to engineers who have used other JavaScript testing libraries.
- Cypress Test Runner useful in debugging your tests. You can also directly inspect from Chrome dev tools.
How to run
Clone the repo and Install the project dependencies
npm i
To run the tests on your terminal, run
npm run cy:test
To run the tests against the Cypress Test Runner, run
npm run cypress open
Once the test runner has loaded, click on the spec file you wish to test.
