Hey Reader,

Last week was pretty intense for me, how was yours? I learned tons of new stuff to share with you, enjoy!

Cypress .filter function is cooler than I thought

Last week I discovered something cool about Cypress - you can pass a function to the .filter() command 🤯 While the docs mainly talk about basic selectors, this opens up some awesome possibilities for selecting elements based on their values or attributes.

 1  cy.get('input').filter((index, el) => {
 2    const elementValue = Cypress.$(el).val();
 3    return String(elementValue).includes('User input value')
 4  })

My upcoming 99 Cypress tips course will be full of gems like these, can’t wait to share it with you!

Chrome Dev Tools New Feature

Have you ever tried to use a scroll command in your automation and spent dozens of minutes trying to figure out why your scrolling doesn’t work? I know I have. Well good news: Chrome dev tools now has a new scroll badge feature and I think it’s absolutely fantastic!

Claude AI’s New Features

​I was pretty impressed by recent Claude AI announcement. Apparently, it can now interact with your computer like a human. As a tester, I’m seeing huge potential for automating those “not worth automating” tasks. Imagine having an AI assistant handle post-deployment checks or manage your work communications! But people in my comments are bit more sceptical. What do you think?

Events

After a rather crazy week I’ll have a bit of rest, but I will be speaking soon at Agile Testing Days! I’ll be part of a panel discussion and will have a talk. Come say hello to me, I’d love to make some new friends!

Meme of the week
