Cypress core workshop

Cypress core workshop is a 4 module workshop, during which you can learn core principles and patterns. Four 3-hour long online sessions are packed with quality content and many great tips from my more than 5 year long experience with Cypress.io. Workshop is built on "learn by doing" principle. This means you can look forward to many practical examples, working with code and real-life problem solving.

Prečo core workshop

Why "core workshop"?

I have gathered a lot of experience doing Cypress workshops in Slovakia and Czechia and I’m bringing them to the whole world! Based on all the great feedback I have gathered, I decided to create a workshop that will go deep on core topics. Using practical testing examples, we will discover not only how to write a stable test, but also how Cypress works "under the hood"

My goal is to provide attendees with a firm knowledge of the core principles, which may be harder to obtain just by trial and error. This workshop is the result of my trials and errors, experiences and searches for best practices for writing stable and good tests.

What is Cypress.io?

It’s a tool for testing modern web applications. It’s made to be fast and provide a great user experience. It prompts developers to test effectively and testers to understand web applications better.

Cypress is being used by more people every year and testers and developers with Cypress are rising in demand. Why not join the group? 🙂

F.A.Q

Who is this workshop for?

It is especially useful for testers, QAs and QA engineers that are starting with test automation or are migrating from another framework, such as Selenium. It can also be useful for frontend developers that would like to get to know Cypress

Who is this workshop NOT for?

It’s definitely NOT suitable dor people that have no prior experience with web applications. If CSS, HTML and JavaScript are still foreign terms for you, it’s better to first catch up on the basics of these.

How do I get a discount?

It’s simple! Post the link to this workshop on Twitter or on LinkedIn sharing that you will attend. Feel free to tag me in the post 🙂. You can then use the code CORE50 at checkout and apply the discount. I know there’s no real way for me to check if you really posted. But I trust you ❤️

The date of the workshop does not suit me, will there be other options?

Yes! Follow me on Twitter, LinkedIn or sign up for the newsletter and I’ll let you know.

I’d like you to come and do a workshop in our company, is that possible?

Of course! I can do a workshop that will suit your needs or help by consulting your project. In this case the workshop has a slightly different pricing (per day, not per attendee). Details can be found on this page .

Will the workshop be recorded?

I don’t like to record workshop for various reasons. The main one is that a recording will not have the same value as when you attend the workshop yourself. You’ll miss the practical examples, option to ask questions and interact with other attendees.
