Leveraging ChatGPT with Cypress for API testing: Hands-On Techniques
In this engaging session, Anna Patterson explores practical techniques and provides hands-on examples of harnessing the combined power of Cypress and ChatGPT to create robust API tests for your applications. Anna explained that while Cypress is primarily known as an end-to-end testing framework for web applications, it can also be used for API testing. She demonstrated how to use ChatGPT to generate API tests based on Swagger documentation, showed examples of creating tests for different API endpoints, and She discussed the importance of combining API tests with visual tests using tools like Applitools to ensure comprehensive testing coverage.
