I took Gil Tayar’s course on Cypress from Test Automation University .recently and fell in love with the ease, speed, and efficiency of Cypress. Even though I’m a JavaScript novice, the course makes it easy to see how Cypress makes life easy for people writing tests – especially developers writing in JavaScript.

Applitools realizes the complexity of visually debugging an application and introduced the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) module on their Test Manager Dashboard to help quickly identify the root cause behind visual UI changes. In this article, I will demonstrate the Applitools RCA feature by walking you through a complete step by step guide to visually test a Vue.js app with Storybook and Applitools.

ReactJS provides a library of reusable components for building JavaScript applications. When combined with Storybook and Applitools Eyes, you can validate the visual appearance of your React components in a controlled testbed. With Applitools Ultrafast Grid, you can run your visual validations across a range of browsers and viewport sizes across multiple screen combinations simultaneously. Together, React, Storybook, and Applitools make you much more productive by developing once in React, testing once in Storybook, and rapidly validating everywhere in Applitools.

I took Andrew Knight’s course on Web Element Locator Strategies to learn about how web element locators play a huge role in test automation – or just testing in general. Andrew is also a star teacher, consultant, and practitioner in the areas of software development and test. You can read his blog at https://www.automationpanda.com/

ReactJS provides a great library for app JavaScript development. Cypress is a great app functional UI test framework. Add Applitools, and you gain productivity in visual testing that allows you to deliver visual testing your app across a range of browsers and operating systems. Put them together, and React plus Cypress plus Applitools is a great combination to develop, functionally test, and visually test your application.
