Summary

Gleb Bahmutov's blog post explores the use of Cypress, a versatile end-to-end test runner, to conduct integration and unit tests for a Hyperapp application, specifically focusing on testing individual view components and functions. The author demonstrates how to write tests by extracting components into separate files, using Cypress to load and interact with these components, and employing the cypress-hyperapp-unit-test package to facilitate the process. The post also highlights the effectiveness of Cypress in testing pure functions within Hyperapp, showcasing an example of testing the "add" action function without needing additional utilities. Bahmutov emphasizes the utility of Cypress' GUI in inspecting test results and mentions the development of adaptors for other frameworks like Vue, React, Cycle, and Svelte, while expressing a need for assistance in completing an adaptor for Angular. The blog concludes by referencing presentations at AssertJS on best testing practices, offering additional resources for readers interested in further learning.
