Blogposts, discussions, eventsTest automation tipWhen doing API testing, there are many things we might want to test. For example, in this test, we're making sure that the name returns unaltered from the server. But what about the other keys? We need to take a look at the response and take a look at the response body. This is not really a problem, but it may become one when we are dealing with hundreds of tests. And this is where TypeScript becomes incredibly useful. We can create an interface that will define the board body response. What we can do is we can tell the request function to expect board to be a return type. When we now start typing expect function, the board body will start auto-completing types from our board. 1 interface Board { 2 name: string 3 user: number 4 starred: boolean 5 created: string 6 id: number 7 } 1 cy.request<Board>('/api/boards').then(board => { 2 expect(board.body.name).to.eq('new board') 3 }) Meme of the week

My talk titled "Test like a developer, develop like a tester" argued that we should put the effort as testers to become experts in the software we test. And yes, that includes having a fair bit of developer knowledge. Jason Arbon called...
