Best Practices

  • Organizing Tests: Structure tests by features or components to maintain clarity and scalability. Cypress Documentation.
  • Selecting Elements: Use data attributes (e.g., data-cy) for selecting elements to ensure selectors are resilient to changes in styling or structure. Cypress Best Practices.
  • Avoiding Flaky Tests: Implement assertions and controls to prevent tests from being flaky, ensuring consistent test outcomes. Dev.to
