A Simple Cypress Command That Catches Bugs Like Magic ✨

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a small but impactful piece of work that is adding significant value to our automation tests with minimal effort. We’ve created a simple Cypress command that has contributed to nearly one-fourth of the total issues caught by our automation tests 🎉

The idea is straightforward: it checks that none of our pages are throwing API errors. If you’re new to Cypress, this is an easy and effective way to boost your testing without feeling overwhelmed.

A Simple Cypress Command That Catches Bugs Like Magic ✨

Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Add a Custom Command in cypress/support/commands.js

2. Create a Test File in pageload.cy.js

Why Is This Useful? 🤔

This small command has made a big difference for us. If an API call returns a status code like 500, the test will fail, alerting you to potential issues immediately. If you’re just starting with Cypress, using this command can save you time and help ensure your app is stable. Simple, powerful, and effective! 💥
