Nader Mokhtar
Future Proof your E2E Testing using CypressOnRails

E2E is a challenge for most companies. Still, to this day, most companies have manual QA testing post-production release, Where an engineer has to go the application clicking through to make sure the behavior is correct. Unfortunately, humans can make mistakes, and you get an angry email from your users saying you broke the website. Selenium has been great so far, and we have a magical tool Capybara. The errors, tooling, and ecosystem of selenium ar not meeting the modern reality of JavaScript front end that we are all building in nowadays. So Cypress comes into play a modern testing suite that allows for quick debugging, CI/CD process and has decupled architecture in mind. I will demo how easy is it set up CypressOnRails, the befits of using built-in tools, and ways you extend the tools.

Schedule:

• 6:00pm - Eat, mingle
• 6:20pm - Talks begin
