Ace functional and visual component testing with Cypress.io and Applitools — watch this on-demand webinar with two engineering giants: Gleb Bahmutov (VP Engineering @ Cypress.io) and Gil Tayar (Sr. Architect @ Applitools).

Functional and visual testing work very well together for end-to-end frontend tests.

In this hands-on session, Gleb Bahmutov and Gil Tayar showed how to apply the same approach to the individual components — the building blocks of modern web apps.

Component testing ensures a thorough validation of all our components’ variants such as different inputs and states, edge-case network responses, and responsive widths.

Gleb and Gil used Cypress.io to drive the tests and check them functionally, while integrating the Applitools plugin to provide us with the capability to quickly and easily test them visually across all browsers and response widths. Watch this on-demand webinar to see the full power of the functional and visual component tests’ ability to speed up the development cycle.

“Is Cypress better than Selenium WebDriver? I get asked this a lot.
Frankly, the easiest path of a ‘this vs that’ talk is to try and find out which is ‘best’.
But I will not take that path.
Instead, I will try and explain how Cypress is different from Selenium WebDriver.”
— Gil Tayar, Sr. Architect @ Applitools

There’s a new claim to the throne of functional test automation tools: Cypress.io.

Is Cypress fast? Yes. Is Cypress interactive? Yep. Is Cypress reliable? You bet. And best of all… it’s cool!

But is Cypress an alternative to Selenium WebDriver?

In this webinar, Sr. Architect Gil Tayar will take an in-depth look at both Cypress and Selenium WebDriver: he will demonstrate how to write Cypress test, how it’s used, and discuss how these 2 tools differ.

This session covers the following topics:

• How and why do frontend developers write tests
• Selenium architecture
• Cypress architecture
• Live demo of Cypress
• How Cypress deals with flakiness
• Cypress and backdoors to development
• Visual testing using Cypress
