What you'll learn

At first glance, working with test data might seem straightforward, but managing it effectively in Cypress requires knowing best practices and strategies. Also, with many applications shifting from REST to GraphQL and relying on WebSocket for real-time data updates, writing tests becomes more complex and challenging. In this course, Cypress: Data Management and Mocking, you’ll learn how to manage test data, mock REST and GraphQL endpoints, and test real-time data updates. First, you’ll explore different ways of storing and accessing internal, external, and sensitive data inside the test project. Next, you’ll discover how to intercept requests from REST and GraphQL endpoints. Finally, you’ll learn how to test applications that use WebSocket for real-time data updates. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Cypress needed to tackle modern testing challenges.
