Cypress is currently one of the most popular test automation frameworks out there in the JavaScript community. With so many plugins that it can integrate to, we can actually leverage Cypress beyond just testing our application’s functionality – whether it’s accessibility, performance or visual testing. If you are working on a front end application, visual testing is a great one to add in your testing strategy. In this talk, I will specifically talk about what visual testing is, share the importance of doing visual testing, and how you can easily test the look and feel of your application by leveraging your Cypress tests. With so many visual testing plugins to choose from that you can integrate with Cypress, how do you choose which tool? Apart from choosing the right tooling, what other areas do you have to consider when introducing visual testing? For the last part of this talk, I would like to walk you through a few visual testing plugins that I have used personally; which you can use with Cypress so you can also catch visual issues in your application.

Key Takeaways:

• Why is visual testing important?
• What areas do you have to consider when doing visual testing?
• A glimpse of how you can integrate a few visual testing plugins to Cypress
