Write Your First E2E Test in Cypress

From zero to your first green checkmark — in four simple steps. Each step includes a live animated demo 🎬

✓ Cypress installed ✓ Editor ready ⏱ 2 min read
1

Create a Spec File

Once Cypress is installed and open in your favorite editor, create an empty spec file:

📄 first-test.cy.js 📦 first-test.cy.ts
🎬 Live: creating the spec file DEMO
2

Write the describe Block

The describe block acts as a test suite. Inside it, you can write any number of test cases using it() blocks.

first-test.cy.js
describe('My First Test', () => {
  // it blocks and test logic go here
})
🎬 Live: writing the describe block DEMO

Add Your First Test

Now write an it block inside the describe block with some logic:

first-test.cy.js
describe('My First Test', () => {
  it('Visits a website', () => {
    cy.visit('https://qa.imcseian.com/')
  })
})

cy.visit() is the Cypress command used to navigate to any website URL.

Save the file, open a terminal, navigate to your project path, and run:

bash
npx cypress open
🎬 Live: launching Cypress & passing ✅ DEMO

Tip: in the Cypress launcher, pick E2E Testing → choose your browser → click your spec file to watch it run.

That's it — let's have fun! 🎉
