Cypress - Modern Automation Testing from Scratch + Framework - Building Customized Cypress Commands to Reuse the Code

The video tutorial explains how to create a dynamic product selection method using Cypress. It covers writing a generic function to select products based on their names, handling add button selection, and creating custom Cypress commands. The tutorial emphasizes using locators and iterating through elements to achieve dynamic product selection without hardcoding values.

What is the primary goal when selecting products on a webpage using Cypress?

• To manually click each product

• To automate the selection process

• To use only default Cypress commands

• To write separate functions for each product

Why is it important to use a common locator when grabbing text from a webpage?

• To reduce the number of lines of code

• To ensure all text elements are captured for iteration

• To make the code run faster

• To avoid using CSS selectors

What should you do if a CSS class name contains spaces when writing a selector?

• Replace spaces with dots

• Replace spaces with underscores

• Leave the spaces as they are

• Remove the spaces entirely

What is the purpose of the 'includes' method in the context of this tutorial?

• To remove spaces from a string

• To check if a text contains a substring

• To iterate over an array

• To add elements to an array

Why might the Crow path plugin not be available in the future?

• It is a paid plugin

• It might violate Chrome's policies

• It is not open source

• It is not compatible with Cypress

How can you ensure that a function in JavaScript is dynamic and not hardcoded?

• By using global variables

• By writing the function in a separate file

• By passing parameters to the function

• By using only default values

What is a custom Cypress command?

• A command that only works with CSS selectors

• A user-defined command to extend Cypress functionality

• A default command provided by Cypress

• A command that cannot accept parameters

What is the benefit of creating a custom Cypress command?

• It eliminates the need for JavaScript functions

• It makes the tests run faster

• It allows for code reuse and cleaner tests

• It reduces the need for CSS selectors

How do you pass a product name to a custom Cypress command?

• By passing it as an argument

• By using a global variable

• By hardcoding it in the command

• By using a default value

What happens if you pass 'Nokia Edge' as an input to the custom command?

• It clicks on the Nokia Edge product

• It does nothing

• It throws an error

• It clicks on the BlackBerry product
