Cypress, among other things, validates the structure of your DOM. It verifies that a button is visible or that it has the correct text. But what about the look and styling of our app? How can we test that our application looks good visually? We can use Cypress to verify that it has the correct […]
How much is it worth to catch more bugs early in your product release process? Depending on where you are in your release process, you might be writing unit or systems tests. But, you need to run end-to-end tests to prove behavior, and quality engineers require a high degree of skill to write end-to-end tests […]
Do you believe in learning from the experiences of others? If others found themselves more productive adding Visual AI to their functional tests, would you give it a try? In November 2019, over 3,000 engineers signed up to participate in the Applitools Visual AI Rockstar Hackathon. 288 completed the challenge and submitted tests – comparing […]
On the Test Maintenance Road to Nowhere? Your Visual AI Exit Is Just Ahead. Congrats! You just spent hours authoring new tests. They all passed 100% of the time. Now you can now start the real work of managing quality. That is, until the application under test starts to change. Now, the potential for instability […]
One of the perks of my job is that we have lunch brought in a couple of times a week. On those days, we’re all eagerly awaiting an email from our office manager with the link to a Doordash order form. We have less than an hour to get our orders in, so everyone stops […]
Earlier in my career (though it seems like yesterday), product teams I was a part of did everything “on-prem”, and angst-ridden code compiles took place every few months . We’d burn down bugs using manual QA and push to production after several long nights before taking a long nap and doing it all again next […]
The obvious question — why is it so much faster to author new tests using Visual AI? It’s because Visual AI uses just a single line of code to take a screenshot of the entire page.
What do you think are best practices for front end testing? On April 3, 2019, Adam Carmi, our CTO and Co-Founder, joined a panel discussed this topic on a This Dot Media webinar. The webinar title was “This.Javascript: State of Front End Testing.” Moderated by Tracy Lee of This Dot, the panel included: Guillermo Rauch […]
ReactJS provides a great library for app JavaScript development. Cypress is a great app functional UI test framework. Add Applitools, and you gain productivity in visual testing that allows you to deliver visual testing your app across a range of browsers and operating systems. Put them together, and React plus Cypress plus Applitools is a great combination to develop, functionally test, and visually test your application.
In my previous blog post, we explored how easy it is to troubleshoot and fix React bugs fast using React JS, Cypress.io, and Applitools. In this article, I’ll walk you through a complete, step-by-step guide of how to visually test a Vue JS app with Cypress.io and Applitools.
Listen to Gil Tayar’s webinar on the new Applitools SDKs for Cypress and Storybook, which enable developers to test the visual appearance of their apps across all responsive web platforms, including React, Vue, and Angular.
Test Automation thought leaders gathered for a round-table discussion about the upcoming trends, best practices, tools, and ideas that will shape your Dev/Test environment in 2019. Joe Colantonio hosted this all-star expert panel, including: Angie Jones, Dave Haeffner, and Gil Tayar – as they shared their thoughts and insights on the hottest topics in test […]
