🚀Write test Option-A | Multi-Window & Tab Switching in Cypress with Puppeteer & TypeScript | Ep 03🚀

🚀 Episode 3: Writing tests to switch to Multi-Window and Multi-Tabs in Cypress with Puppeteer & TypeScript! | Handle Tabs Like a Pro 🚀
Video Description:
Welcome to Episode 3 of our series on mastering multi-window and multi-tab testing with Cypress, Puppeteer, and TypeScript! In this episode, we’ll dive into writing actual tests using Puppeteer inside Cypress to switch between multiple browser windows and tabs. If you're ready to start automating complex user flows that require interaction across different browser contexts, this video will walk you through the entire process!
What you'll learn in this episode:
How to write Cypress tests using Puppeteer to handle multi-window and multi-tab interactions.
The steps to switch between tabs/windows and perform actions on each.
Best practices for handling pop-ups, modals, and new tabs in your tests.
Practical tips for ensuring your tests are stable and reliable when working with multiple browser contexts.
By the end of this video, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to automate tests that involve switching back and forth between browser tabs and windows - something every advanced UI tester needs in their toolbox.
What’s covered in this episode:
Introduction to Multi-Window Testing - We’ll explain why and when you need to handle multiple tabs/windows in your tests.
Writing the Tests - We’ll walk you step-by-step through creating Cypress tests that use Puppeteer to switch between windows and tabs.
Switching Tabs and Performing Actions - Learn how to navigate between browser contexts and perform interactions like filling out forms, clicking buttons, and validating content.
Handling Pop-ups and Modals - Get insights into dealing with browser pop-ups and modals that can appear when switching contexts.
Practical Example - We’ll work on a real-world scenario to demonstrate how to use Puppeteer in Cypress to manage multi-tab interactions in a user-friendly web application.
💡 Prerequisites:
You should have already set up your Cypress project with Puppeteer and TypeScript (if you missed the setup steps, check out Episode 2 of the series).
Basic knowledge of Cypress and TypeScript will be helpful.
🔧 Tools and Setup Used in This Episode:
Cypress for end-to-end testing.
Puppeteer for controlling multiple browser windows/tabs.
TypeScript for type safety and enhanced development experience.
🌟 Why Multi-Window and Multi-Tab Testing is Crucial:
Real-world web applications often involve complex flows that span across different windows or tabs - think login flows, multi-step processes, payment gateways, and more. Testing these flows requires tools that can simulate user behavior across multiple browser contexts. Cypress + Puppeteer is the perfect combo for this!
