Summary

In a recent webcast hosted by Cypress, VP of Engineering Gleb Bahmutov and Big Nerd Ranch's Web Platform Lead Josh Justice explored the concept of code smells as a method to identify and resolve issues in flaky Cypress tests. They discussed the challenges of troubleshooting test flakiness and how categorizing problems using code smells can simplify the process. The webcast featured specific strategies for addressing three distinct Cypress code smells observed in a large frontend application. Attendees engaged actively, asking insightful questions via Slido, and those whose questions went unanswered during the live session were directed to follow-up resources. The event received positive feedback, and participants were encouraged to anticipate future webcasts by staying connected with Cypress on Twitter.
