class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of common Cypress interview questions and answers for freshers:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>What is Cypress, and how is it different from Selenium?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress is a JavaScript-based testing framework used for end-to-end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/tag\/testing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testing<\/a> of web applications. Unlike Selenium, which supports multiple languages, Cypress runs directly in the browser and operates within the same run loop as the application. This makes it faster and more reliable for UI testing. It also eliminates the need for WebDriver, simplifying setup and execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>How does Cypress handle asynchronous operations in tests?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress automatically waits for commands and assertions to complete before moving to the next step. It does not require explicit waits or callbacks. Instead, it uses a built-in retry mechanism to check for elements dynamically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, cy.get(&#8216;button&#8217;).click() waits for the button to appear before clicking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>What are some key features of Cypress?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress offers fast execution, built-in retry logic, automatic waiting, real-time reloading, network request interception, and a time-travel debugging tool. It provides a simple API with powerful commands to interact with elements and verify application behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>How do you install and set up Cypress in a project?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress can be installed using npm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>npm install cypress &#8211;save-dev<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To open Cypress, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>npx cypress open<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This launches the Cypress Test Runner, where tests can be created inside the cypress\/integration folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-25-java-questions-for-selenium-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 25+ Java Questions for Selenium Interview<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cypress_Interview_Questions_for_Experienced\"><\/span>Cypress Interview Questions for Experienced<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are common Cypress interview questions and answers for experienced candidates:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>How does Cypress handle API testing, and how do you stub network requests?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress provides cy.request() for making API calls and cy.intercept() to stub network requests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to stub a response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.intercept(&#8216;GET&#8217;, &#8216;\/api\/users&#8217;, { fixture: &#8216;users.json&#8217; }).as(&#8216;getUsers&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This replaces the actual API response with predefined data from users.json.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-40-api-testing-interview-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 40+ API Testing Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>What are Cypress fixtures, and how do you use them?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixtures store static test data in JSON files. They help mock responses in tests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use a fixture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.fixture(&#8216;users&#8217;).then((data) =&gt; {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.get(&#8216;#username&#8217;).type(data.username);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>});<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>How do you handle authentication and session management in Cypress tests?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress supports session management using cy.session(). Alternatively, authentication can be done via API:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.request(&#8216;POST&#8217;, &#8216;\/login&#8217;, { username: &#8216;test&#8217;, password: &#8216;1234&#8217; }).then((resp) =&gt; {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.setCookie(&#8216;auth_token&#8217;, resp.body.token);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>});<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This avoids logging in via UI on every test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>What are some limitations of Cypress, and how do you work around them?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress does not support multiple browser tabs or native mobile testing. Workarounds include simulating new tabs using target=&#8221;_self&#8221; or using other tools for mobile testing. It also struggles with iframe interactions, which can be handled using cy.iframe() from plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Can you describe a challenging Cypress testing scenario you faced and how you resolved it?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most commonly asked Cypress interview questions for 2 years experienced candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn one project, I had to test an application with dynamic pop-ups that disappeared unpredictably. Cypress was failing because elements weren\u2019t available in time. To fix this, I used cy.intercept() to wait for the pop-up request and applied .should(&#8216;be.visible&#8217;) before interacting with elements. This made the tests stable across different runs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-45-mobile-testing-interview-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 45+ Mobile Testing Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cypress_Automation_Interview_Questions\"><\/span>Cypress Automation Interview Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go through frequently asked Cypress automation interview questions and answers:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>How do you automate form submissions in Cypress?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress automates form submissions using cy.get() and .type(), followed by .submit():<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#name&#8217;).type(&#8216;John Doe&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#email&#8217;).type(&#8216;john@example.com&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;form&#8217;).submit();<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It automatically waits for elements before typing or clicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li><strong>How does Cypress handle retries in test execution?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress retries commands like cy.get() and assertions automatically. If an element isn\u2019t found immediately, Cypress keeps checking until the timeout is reached. No extra retry logic is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-40-java-automation-testing-interview-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 40+ Java Automation Testing Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cypress_Testing_Interview_Questions\"><\/span>Cypress Testing Interview Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also come across interview questions on Cypress testing like these:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li><strong>How do you debug failing Cypress tests?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress provides detailed error messages, screenshots, and videos of test failures. The cy.pause() command can be used for debugging, and cy.log() helps track values inside tests. Running tests with cypress open allows step-by-step debugging in the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li><strong>What are Cypress custom commands, and how do you create one?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom commands simplify repetitive actions. They are defined in cypress\/support\/commands.js:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress.Commands.add(&#8216;login&#8217;, (username, password) =&gt; {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.get(&#8216;#username&#8217;).type(username);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.get(&#8216;#password&#8217;).type(password);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.get(&#8216;button&#8217;).click();<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>});<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then used in tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.login(&#8216;testuser&#8217;, &#8216;password123&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cypress_JavaScript_Interview_Questions\"><\/span>Cypress JavaScript Interview Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li><strong>How does Cypress handle promises and async behaviour in JavaScript?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress commands are inherently asynchronous but do not return promises. Instead of .then(), Cypress chains commands using implicit waiting. Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#element&#8217;).should(&#8216;be.visible&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No need for await or .then() unless accessing command results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"15\">\n<li><strong>What is the role of cy.wrap() in Cypress, and when should you use it?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.wrap() is used to work with non-Cypress values inside tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.wrap({ name: &#8216;John&#8217; }).its(&#8216;name&#8217;).should(&#8216;eq&#8217;, &#8216;John&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes external values behave like Cypress commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"16\">\n<li><strong>How do you organise and structure Cypress test files in a large project?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also come across Cypress framework interview questions like this one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-structured project has separate folders for integration (tests), fixtures (test data), support (custom commands), and plugins. Tests are grouped by feature or module for maintainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-40-javascript-interview-questions-answers-2024-hirist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 60+ JavaScript Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cypress_Coding_Interview_Questions\"><\/span>Cypress Coding Interview Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"17\">\n<li><strong>Write a Cypress test to validate a login functionality with incorrect credentials.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.visit(&#8216;\/login&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#username&#8217;).type(&#8216;wrongUser&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#password&#8217;).type(&#8216;wrongPass&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;button&#8217;).click();<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.contains(&#8216;Invalid credentials&#8217;).should(&#8216;be.visible&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"18\">\n<li><strong>How would you write a custom Cypress command to check if an element is visible?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cypress.Commands.add(&#8216;isVisible&#8217;, (selector) =&gt; {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;cy.get(selector).should(&#8216;be.visible&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>});<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"19\">\n<li><strong>Write a test script in Cypress to validate dynamic dropdown selections.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#dropdown&#8217;).click();<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.contains(&#8216;Option 2&#8217;).click();<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#dropdown&#8217;).should(&#8216;contain&#8217;, &#8216;Option 2&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"20\">\n<li><strong>How do you write a Cypress test to handle file uploads?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;input[type=&#8221;file&#8221;]&#8217;).attachFile(&#8216;sample.pdf&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cy.get(&#8216;#upload-status&#8217;).should(&#8216;contain&#8217;, &#8216;Upload successful&#8217;);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Also Read - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/top-45-quality-assurance-interview-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 45 Quality Assurance Interview Questions and Answers<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These 20 Cypress interview questions and answers cover key topics to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirist.tech\/blog\/category\/inverview-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prepare for your next interview<\/a>.
