What is Cypress?![A hashtag icon]()
Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework that has won over developers and testers for its ease of use and flexibility. To use Cypress for your browser test automation, you’ll need to write your tests in JavaScript. Once your code is ready, you’ll be able to repeatedly run test cases using a real browser.
What makes Cypress unique is its batteries-included approach: all the tools required for end-to-end testing are already part of the Cypress framework, and there’s no need for anything extra. Fewer tools to install means faster setup and more time to write tests. Because Cypress’s components are well-integrated, its tests are usually more stable than end-to-end tests using other frameworks.
What is Mailosaur?![A hashtag icon]()
Mailosaur lets you test email and SMS messages as part of your end-to-end automated testing. This is important for websites and web apps that send an email (password resets, account setup, marketing emails, etc.) or SMS message (multi-factor authentication, verification, etc.)
If you don’t already have one, you’ll need to create a free trial account. Once you’re in, familiarize yourself with sending email into Mailosaur. Once you have this working, you’re ready to start testing!
This guide assumes that you already know how to test with Cypress, however if you’re just getting started, check out the official Cypress documentation.
If you don’t already have one, create a Mailosaur account.
Make sure you know how to send email to Mailosaur first. Once you have this working, you’re ready to start testing!
