This documents my work going through the course 'Real World Testing with Cypress - Course App'

Real World Testing with Cypress - Courses

This repo was cloned from: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-testing-course-app. This files here relate to the Testing your first application course on learn.cypress.io. However, I have also documented my progress for the other courses on the website:

1. Testing Your First Application - How to test your first application with Cypress.
2. Testing Foundations - The fundamentals and testing basics you need to write great tests.
3. Cypress Fundamentals - The fundamentals of Cypress you must know.
4. Advanced Cypress Testing Concepts - Some of the more advanced Cypress testing concepts that take your tests to the next level.

Course 1: Testing Your First Application (complete) - course link

I'm going to leave this for now and focus on practical 'learn by doing' courses, I will revisit later and potentially add links to show where I have demonstrated profiency in these areas.

• How to debug test failures
• Database initialization and seeding
• How to test network requests
• Database Initialization and Seeding
• Running in Continuous Integration (CI)
• Intercepting HTTP Requests
• API and Integration Tests

cypress-realworld-testing-course-app's Issues
