Applitools TestGenAI Plugin for Cypress

Applitools TestGenAI enables both technical and non-technical team members to expand test coverage effectively. This inclusivity allows non-technical participants to engage in test automation, helping to distribute the workload more efficiently across the team.

Advantages of TestGenAI:

• Time-savings: It swiftly records user actions, generating test cases without the need to write manual code for each step.
• Self-Healing and Robust Tests: The tool automates mundane tasks like filling in forms and provides amenities that improve the overall quality of the generated test code, making tests more robust and easier to maintain over time.
• Modern Test Coverage: Quickly create modern test coverage in code using Cypress, which includes industry best practices and allows easy migration from existing test implementations, such as Selenium, to Cypress.
• Facilitates non-developers involvement in test automation, effectively distributing the test creation workload.
• Automatic reusable variable generation.
• Page Object Model generation to make code more efficient and tests more readable.

Installation

You can install the TestGenAI plugin using the following command:

npm install @applitools/testgenai-cypress

Configuration

Automatic Configuration

You can automatically configure the TestGenAI plugin by running the following command:

npx @applitools/testgenai-cypress init

Manual Configuration

If you encountered an error with the automatic configuration or prefer to configure the plugin manually, you can follow the steps below:

1. Add following import to your cypress/support/e2e.js file

import '@applitools/testgenai-cypress/commands'

2. Add following import to your cypress.config.js file

const { testGenAICypressTasksSetup } = require("@applitools/testgenai-cypress/tasks");

3. Call the testGenAICypressTasksSetup function in the e2e setupNodeEvents configuration in your cypress.config.js file

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      testGenAICypressTasksSetup(on)
    },
  },
});

4. Configure the plugin in your cypress.config.js file with env.applitoolsTestGenAI object

module.exports = defineConfig({
  env: {
    applitoolsTestGenAI: {
      autohealDataFolders: ['cypress/testgenai/autoheal']
    }
  },
});

5. Add a folder named testgenai inside the cypress directory with two folders inside of it named autoheal and POMs. The final output should be ./cypress/testgenai/autoheal and ./cypress/testgenai/POMs.

Configuration

You can configure the TestGenAI plugin through the env.applitoolsTestGenAI object in your cypress.config.js file.

Example

module.exports = defineConfig({
    env: {
        applitoolsTestGenAI: {
            autohealDataFolders: ['cypress/testgenai/autoheal'],
            waitForNetworkCalls: {
                isEnabled: false
            },
            allowObscuredElements: false
        }
    },
});
