(EN) Complete Test Automation With Cypress and Harmony

Webinar Content

In this presentation, I will show how test execution automation (Cypress) and test design automation (Harmony) work together. Harmony uses double-phase modeling, where the high-level model is created, and the low-level model is generated from the high-level model. By applying Cypress and Harmony together, manual testers, and business analysts can do test automation very fast and efficiently. 

First, the high-level model is created that contains minimum information such as (1) change the password and then validate it, (2) login, (3) add items for less than EUR 50 to the cart, then check (4) go to pay and check it’s possible. The textual model may contain states by which tricky bugs can be detected. From the model, the abstract test cases are generated. These can be easily executed by humans but cannot be executed by tools. During the execution controlled by the Cypress runner, the test steps are automated. First, a low-level (Gherkin-like) model is generated, then the JavaScript code. During the test execution, validation is made by the selection of the output values or the states of the UI objects such as visible, non-visible, active, non-active, etc.
