The blog post, authored by Filip Hric, a QA lead at Slido and a Cypress ambassador, offers practical guidance on testing lists of items using Cypress, a testing framework. Hric discusses techniques for managing lists in testing scenarios, starting with basic operations such as selecting and asserting individual items using commands like .get(), .eq(), and .then(). He explains how to handle longer lists efficiently with the .each() command, which functions similarly to the array.forEach() method. The post also addresses challenges encountered when the position of items in a list changes due to external factors, such as live collaboration, and how Cypress' retry logic affects test outcomes. Hric suggests solving these issues by adding assertions for item count or using the .should() command to incorporate retries, which ensures the test moves forward only after all assertions are satisfied.
