Here are some matches I recently watched and enjoyed.
Mercedes Mone vs. Willow Nightingale (AEW Double or Nothing 2024) - I simply loved seeing Willow throw and smack Mercedes around and Mercedes performs pain-mania-insanity so well.
Leon vs Kaori Yoneyama (JWP Pure Slam 2005) - Tag team partners killing each other like only tag team partners can, close and personal and painful. Surprisingly good camera work given it's 2005 joshi.
Jimmy Rave vs. Nigel McGuinness (ROH The Fifth Year Festival: Finale) - Great heel performance from Rave as usual, and a unique match structured around a guard rail that gave me anxiety, because there's bits sticking out of it, dear god!
Combat Toyoda vs. Megumi Kudo (FMW Fighting Creation '96 - Day 11: 7th Anniversary Show) - Toyoda's retirement match, at the time, performed with all the blood, tears and drama she deserves. Just incredible melodrama and aesthetics, and Megumi suffers so beautifully.
Akira Taue & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Kenta Kobashi & Mitsuharu Misawa (AJPW Super Power Series 1995 - Day 15) - Leave Kobashi alone! Peak Japanese tag wrestling, building to emotional heights that you can only get when you take all that time to get there. Also it's always fun to watch the crowd react.
Nigel McGuinness vs. Kevin Steen (ROH Northern Navigation) - I love when Nigel gets to be that bitch.

Henderson literally plays in the Saudi league now and is not really needed in the England squad, there is no logical reason for Southgate to be starting him or even calling him up anymore, he can’t even use leadership as a reason because that England team is full of leaders. Like off the top of my head players that have captained in club football: Kane, trippier, Trent, rice, maguire, Gallagher etc there’s even other players that have not been called up who are leaders too, like mason, jwp, sterling. Southgate needs to go
Thank you anon 🩷
It’s true none of it makes sense

you know what makes the whole thing all the more heartbreaking? jesse literally asked gareth what he would have to do to get to the euros. and he done it all. actually exceeded expectations. he joined a mid table english club (when he could have won a trophy with inter), he won potm & gotm, he was arguably the most in form player in the league, & he out-performed all other competition from the minute he stepped on the pitch to the minute he stepped off it. he was stabbed in the back by someone he trusted once again.
#big club bias is real 💔#also not to be sinister but this boi#has literally come out having a history of severe depression#like this is such a fucking brutal way to cut a team#shouldn't have been announced at all#i dont think my mental health would recover tbf#jesse is hella strong 💪🏼#so is jwp & ollie

Aria Jade Nishimura (Born October 3rd, 1995) is a Japanese-Australian professional wrestler. She is currently signed to WWE, where she preforms in the RAW brand under the ring name Aria Jade, and is in her 4th reign as the Raw Womens Champion.
EARLY LIFE
Aria Jade Nishimura was born October 3rd 1995, in Sydney Australia but raised in Okayama Japan since she was 5 months old. Her father is Japanese and her mother is Australian. Aria's parents divorced when she was 3 years old. She lived in Okayama Japan with her father and Stepmother but spent summers in Sydney Australia. She moved to Tokyo in 2008 and graduated from Scared Heart School in 2013 with honors even though she traveled a lot for her wrestling career. Aria started Japanese jujitsu and kickboxing when she was 6 and judo at 7 years old. She has a black belt in both judo and jujitsu.
PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
In 2006 Aria began training with Aja Kong and Manami Toyota. She made her debut in JWP in 2007 as a solo with Toyota in her corner. She would also valet for Aja Kong as her protege in Pro Wrestling Noah, often getting involved in the matches before joining together as a tag team. 2008, Aria won the JWP junior championship making her the youngest champion in their history at 12 years and 144 days olds. She would go on to win the open weight championship later that year until a dislocated shoulder and concussion would sideline her for 6 months.
Aria made her return to wrestling in April of 2009 and spent the year wrestling for multiple companies quickly gaining a large fan following with matches against other female wrestlers as well as hard hitting matches against men too. 2010 Aria joined NJPW faction CHAOS often valeting and getting involved in the other members matches.
AAA and CMLL
In early 2010, Aria would go to Mexico to train with Negro Navarro and Ultimo Dragon for a year before she debuted in AAA, April 5th 2011 and CMLL in August. Aria would gain success slower than she did in Japan but by 2012 she picked up the trios titles with Angelico and Jack Evans in AAA. April 2013, Aria won the womens championship in AAA at only 17 years and 194 days. During 2013 Aria would win and hold 7 different championships at one time from multiple companies.
Aria made her debut in CMLL in 2011 with Ultimo Dragon due to the company feeling that she was too young to compete on her own even though she was a highly decorated champion by then. They would soon change their mind and in 2012 she was competing solo and won the womens title at 17 years and 34 days. In early 2013, WWE offered her a contract but due to legality they couldn't sign her until she turned 18. Aria would vacate her remaining 4 championships after signing her contract.
WWE
October 5th 2013, Aria officially signed with WWE after Triple H had been a huge fan of hers for multiple years. Starting at Hell in A Cell jest weeks later vignettes started playing if someone questioning different divas and superstars wrestling abilities and matches. This would gain immediate heat both backstage and with fans. Aria officially debuted at Elimination Chamber 2014, as Aria Jade, attacking Cameron and AJ Lee after their match. She would begin feuding with AJ Lee nearly beating her at WrestleMania 30 in the Vickie Guerrero Invitational. The next day at Raw , Aria defeated AJ Lee to become the you youngest champion in WWE history. Soon after her win she was announced as an official member of The Authority. Her winning the title would cause a lot of backstage heat so much that other divas refused to allow her to change in the dressing room. Aria publicized her mistreatment and bullying in an interview saying the she wanted to quit as soon as she debuted which caused WWE to face backlash from fans. WWE Divas were all fined $1,000 for harassment and warned if it continued the would be suspended or fired. Personal and public apologies were issued from multiple divas shortly after WWE issued their warning. Aria would continue her feud with AJ Lee with Paige being added to the lineup. August 23rd 2015, Aria would suffer a broken neck from a botched power bomb from Cameron.
Raw GM and Teaming With Seth
Aria returned June 2016 as Raw GM. She was later joined by Mick Foley as Co GM. When The Authority turned on Seth Rollins, Aria began secretly aligning herself with Seth. The Monday after Fastline, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho had Stephanie McMahon on the Highlight Reel and showed her proof that Aria and Seth were sleeping together which was the reason he's been given so many title matches against Owens. Aria was quickly fired as Raw GM but was hired as a WWE Diva by Mick Foley. Aria would join Seth Rollins ringside at WrestleMania 33 in his match against Tripe H. She made her in ring return the next day on Raw in a match against Nia Jax. Who would put her out of action again by throwing her to hard against the steal ring post busting her head open, knocking her out, and spraining her neck. Aria would make a re-return two months later in a title match against Bayley, she would win her first Raw Womens Championship reign. She lost her title at Summerslam against Sasha Banks. Aria would again align herself with Seth Rollins this time with the shield after they saved her from The Bar. Aria would begin feuding with Charlotte Flair on who is truly the best which would climax at WrestleMania 34 in a brutal I Quit match that ended in Ric Flair throwing in the towel to stop the match since both Superstars were half conscious and couldn't stand on their own. Both women were taken to a nearby hospital and WWE announced they would both be out of action for an unknown amount of time due to multiple injuries. Aria returned 4 months later to defeat Nia Jax at money in the back for the Raw women's title. She would be forced to relinquish the title in September due to pregnancy.
Aria was slated to return early 2020 but due to the pandemic both Aria and Seth decided for her to wait until it was safe for her to travel with their daughter. Aria would return, as Aria Nishimura, the January 4th 2021 episode of Raw called Legends Night by attacking Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Peyton Royce, and Lacey Evans. Aria was the first female to be announced for the royal rumble match. Aria would be the 3rd entrant and would win by eliminating Bianca Belair. In February Aria announced she would face Asuka who she said has been avoiding her her entire career, as the two had never stepped in the ring together even with them being mega stars in Japan.
Aria was successful in winning the Raw womens championship at WrestleMania 37 for the 3rd time. Aria would lose the title in July to Nikki A.S.H in a MITB cash in. Aria would team up with Asuka to win the tag team championships in September 2021. The team would be named the Bushido Warriors. The team would both enter the 2022 royal rumble but with Aria as the 1st entrant due to calling Vince McMahon a "shriveled up raisin" in Japanese which was later translated to Vince by an official. Aria would last 78 minutes in the Royal Rumble before winning. Aria would challenge Becky Lynch at night 1 of WrestleMania 38 and after a brutal match which would see Aria get busted open, Aria would win her 4th title reign. She would go into night 2 to defend the tag titles. WWE announced that even though she wasn't medically cleared, but she refused to relinquish the titles and would still compete. The Bushido Warriors would lose the tag titles after Aria was taken to the back due to heavy bleeding the couldn't be stopped at ringside. Aria would have to get another 10 stitches to reclose the wound and suffered a concussion. Aria and Becky's feud would continue for the majority of 2022. Often becoming extremely personal with jabs at their relationships with Seth Rollins to Aria's relationship with her current boyfriend Bang Chan of the K-pop group Stray Kids. The died would come to a head at Summerslam when Becky threw a beer in Bang Chan's face before slapping him on the raw before the PPV. The match would be a last woman standing. Both Aria and Becky were counted out after going through the LED walls on the stage.
PERSONAL LIFE
Aria has a younger brother who is in the K-pop boy group Enhypen as Ni-Ki who was born in 2005. Aria dated My First Story frontman Hiro Moriuchi for 6 years before breaking up in 2014 due to her moving to America. Aria dated Seth Rollins from 2015 until they broke up January 6th 2019. She gave birth to her first child, Eloise Emiko Lopez, May 4th 2019. At Royal Rumble 2022, her relationship with Bang Chan of Stray Kids was publicized after WWE posted pictures of them kissing backstage.

RIP Hana Kimura (1997 - 2020)
(TW: Suicide, Self-harm)
Late last night the news came from STARDOM that Hana Kimura, at the far far too young age of 22, had passed away. I hate having to write this.
This incident comes at the end of a pretty rough week in pro wrestling, with the tragic deaths of both former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard, and 411mania.com’s Larry Csonka opening the week, and the deluge of emotion following the broadcast of the Owen Hart episode of VICE’s Dark Side Of The Ring in midweek. The going report is that it was a suicide, stemming from online bullying and harrassment stemming from her participation in the Japanese reality TV series Terrace House. Earlier, she had tweeted out with pics showing evidence of self-harm, the text of which was basically a farewell message.
Hana was a pro wrestling prodigy, what with her mother being joshi wrestler Kyoko Kimura, and her father, the wrestler/MMA fighter Isao Kimura. Indeed, her first title came at the tender age of 8 years old, winning the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight title on 8/21/2005 by pinning Tanny Mouse, before losing it a mere 20 minutes later after being pinned by her mother.
Having trained through Keiji Muto’s Wrestle-1 promotion, she formally joined W-1 in 2016, splitting time between there, STARDOM and JWP, before she left W-1 and joined STARDOM in 2019. In STARDOM, Hana won the 2019 5-Star Grand Prix, the Goddess of Stardom (tag-team) titles with Kagestu, and a 2-time Artist of Stardom (trios) champion, as well as the Fighting Spirit award winner in 2019. She’d also won titles in JWP, and wrestled in Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling: EVE and in Mexico.
(To make this on-topic for NJPW, Kimura featured in a STARDOM trios dark match at G1 Supercard last year in Madison Square Garden, and was on the losing side of a tag match with Giulia, falling to Mayu Iwatani & Arisa Hoshiki at the Tokyo Dome in a dark STARDOM Offer Match before the first night of Wrestle Kingdom 14 this past January 4.)
This is an absolute tragedy, and one that could have been completely avoided, were it not for the now-inherent toxicity of social media. Fans and fellow wrestlers are tweeting all sorts of stories since last night, talking how Hana Kimura was one of the nicest, most talented and most personable people in STARDOM and all of pro wrestling. This isn’t the first incident of a toxic fan culture (to be sure, not in wrestling, but of reality TV in this case) causing such an incident, and I have a sinking feeling it will not be the last.
All I can say to this is be well, treat others well, treat yourself well. Talk to someone if you need to. Anyone at all. It isn’t easy in these times, in this Hell world we’re all in at the moment.
Please take care of yourselves.
Goodbye, Hana. We’ll all miss you.

i don’t know why i keep thinking this, maybe it’s because of how joshi puroresu was booked in the 90s but i keep waiting for Ozaki to ordain someone as her heir apparent. Devil Masami kind of did that for Ozaki in JWP. Then on the periphery of that you have the rivalry with Akira Hokuto that was brief and quickly followed by teaming with Hokuto.. (because Ozaki is smart).
i feel like if she were going to pass the torch to anyone it would be to Saori Anou because it just seems like she’s been booked strongly and with a clear storyline/angle when it comes to her vs Oz Gumi and joining Oz Gumi.
I haven’t seen booking that clear and not convoluted since Ozaki forced Hiroyo to temporarily join Oz gumi.
i’m probably wrong
for some reason i find DASH Chisako to be more like Ozaki than any of Ozaki’s proteges. perhaps it’s because Chisako is very similar to the original Ozaki protege not named Carlos Amano, Chikayo Nagashima who seems to be in a semi-retired state.

Plum Day 2018 commemorative art by Junichi Tai
On August 15th 1997, Plum Mariko teamed with Command Bolshoi against Mayumi Ozaki and Rieko Amano (now Carlos Amano) at the Hiroshima Sun Plaza. At the matches conclusion, Ozaki used one of her regular moves, the Ligerbomb, to pin Mariko. The move was executed as usual, but appeared to have triggered a preexisting problem. Since other wrestlers on the card had sold their finishes that night, the fans in the arena didn’t immediately realize there was a problem. It seems this spot may not have been the planned finish of the match. In any case, Mariko was knocked out from the Ligerbomb and didn’t kick out. After the match, Ozaki and the other wrestlers saw Mariko, who still hadn't budged, snoring, which was a sign her brain was bleeding.
Mariko died a few hours later on August 16th 1997.
She was 29 years old.
No postmortem was performed on her at the request of her father. Despite this, Mariko was said to have had head injuries and a brain abscess which may have contributed to the head trauma that killed her.
Both JWP and Mayumi Ozaki's OZ Academy have held annual memorial shows ever since.

Lineup Lamentations - GW34
Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week + Walsh on Wildcard.
WALSH
TRANSFERS:
Wildcard madness. Will go full team below.
GK:
Ederson (cry)
Ederson & Foster. Pretty simple combo here. Will start Eddy this GW and look to Foster as a great BB backup GK option for their double in 35. City have kinda weird fixtures from here to the end of the season but I still expect them to pick up some cleans so will be happy to have Ederson I think for the rest of the year.
DEF:
Welp since Kane died and everything got turned upside down I went from never looking at anything but five at the back to starting three defenders. Robbo, Trent, and Duffy are my starters this GW with Kola and VVD on the bench. Despite spending a long time with Mo in my tinkers after Kane died I decided to back my gut which tells me Mo is not worth his price... Kola is just a whatever pick who I will BB in for 35 with one home fixture and has a good start in GW37. He'll be on the bench for all of their away fixtures as things currently stand. Can only hope that he plays both games in the double but am not too convinced about that.
Robertson & Alexander-Arnold (CHE)
I still think Livp are the best defense in the league and trebling for the rest of the season I can only hope will lead to big points. I'm going to bench the CB this week since I feel like the fullbacks have a better chance at an assist than he does for a goal.
Duffy (BOU & CAR)
Finally, Duffy is just a fairly straightforward pick. Alon kept it simple and told me on the pod he'd probably be in. I obviously am not going heavy into Brighton since they are shit ass but having their most attacking defender feels fine for a start this week, a BB option for 35, and then a cheap bench guy for the last few games.
MID:
The guy who I'm benching in mid is Doucoure. One of my favorite guys who should be a great BB option for the double in 35 and someone who I might start a couple times before the season is done. As for starters this week:
Eriksen & Son (HUD)
I'm doubling on Spud mids with Eriksen and Son. The team sheet against Huddy this weekend has been highly speculated about given the two City games incoming, and frankly, I have no idea how Poch will pick it. In the end, I am not where I want to be in terms of OR and I'm punting on Spurs being able to - even without Kane - putting some goals in against the shit opposition that they face through to the end of the season.
Sterling (cry)
I've decided to stand by Raz in the end, and despite great concern over whether or not he will start this weekend I just think they are the best attack in the division and I want to have him in. It's an upside play and hopefully it comes off.
Redmond (WOL)
I'm starting Redderz this weekend home to Wolves with not very high expectations. Wolves are a huge rogue wild card for the rest of the term to me as they could either fight hard for Europa or head to the beach. Either way, I think it's a pretty reasonable fixture for Redmond.
FWD:
Agüero (cry)
Kun is in. Not someone I played around with really too much and someone who I think should get a decent point return from now until the end of the season.
Deeney (ARS)
Deeney is another guy who I haven't really played around with. I think home Arsenal is a great attacking fixture and they will have their tails up for the rest of the season, I expect, leading up to the FA Cup final.
Llorente (HUD)
Last guy and really trickiest guy is Fernando Llorenthe. Welcome in the side you Spanish donk. I don't really rate him, but when I look at what fixtures Spurs have as well as how I expect Poch to pick the teams, Llorente seems phenomenal to me for these shitty fixtures while he will play pacy Son/Lukash up top type things against City. At 5.1 he feels a very good gamble.
CAP:
Llorente (HUD)
As you know, dear reader, City players are off limits as they roll up to Selhurst for my captaincy. Perhaps I am putting good money after bad with my failed Callum cap punt last week, but I am on Llorente. Hear me out. I am very concerned whether or not Son will start since I think he is much more important for them up against City. For this reason I'm off him for cap. Eriksen feels a likely starter but I don't know what he's going to be up to in any given week - it's like capping Hazard to me. Without Kane, and likely without Alli, I'm not sure how he'll go. This leads me to Llorente. He is a diabolical player to start against City since he's slow as fuck and can't counter. With two City games book-ending the Huddy game I'm backing my own intuition on this one and hoping that Poch will see it the same way. I think that literally every other attacker on the team will be more likely to sub off than Llorente as I think he is a complete non-option to start midweek...so the 90 is appealing. Even a shit donk like Llorente should be able to do things against one of the worst teams in the division we have ever seen as far as I'm concerned. Tip of the spear, tip of my penis, let's see it Fernando.
ALON
TRANSFERS:
OUT: Brooks, Luiz
IN (for -4 points hit): Son, Vertonghen
TLDR: Huddersfield are shit.
So I haven’t been around all week just been working my ass off and now we’re here and I was just sorta yolo let’s take a hit and get good guys in... Sorry to everyone on Slack/Twitter that I didn’t have time to get to... Anyway Sonny boy in with Kane dead feels sorta self-explanatory... When Kane is away Sonny boy will play. Takes up the role as their main goalscorer, main outlet, main shot-taker, etc.. Good guy. And Vert has the nailedness, the banker this week, the double, and then several more bankers to end the season. Seems good.
GK:
Heaton (CAR)
Not feeling great about a clean in this one as Cardiff need all the points in the world so they should be properly gung-ho.. Hopefully save points from Tom here.
DEF:
Vertonghen (HUD)
Yeah easy.
Alexander-Arnold & Matip (CHE)
Should be a tight matchup and a clean is realistic imo. But it’ll be fucking tough.
MID:
Salah (CHE)
We all heard Chelsea fans’ new favorite song about their former player Mo, the racist scumbags that they are... Need Mo to fuck these posh cunt rentboy fucks for the good of the universe.
Sterling (cry)
Raz is great and Palace’s defense is now garbage.
Son (HUD)
Sonny in. Hatty incoming.
Ward-Prowse (WOL)
It would be really cool if JWP went another run of goals in three matches in a row or something like that right now. Did it in GWs 22-24, and in 28-30, so I duno 34-36 seems good to me. Go on Hames.
FWD:
Aguero (cry)
Kun’s good... Not feeling confident he starts but he might do and then he might score lots of points. We shall see.
Rondón (lei)
Couple blanks in a row but Sal is still a friend, forever a friend, with actually very good attacking fixtures from now through the end of the season except for GW37. Maybe he’ll tit me.
Barnes (CAR)
Barnesy in a great fixture but who knows with this lunatic? Shake the magic 8-ball and you either get a red card, an own goal, a brace, a pen, conceding a pen, donkey performance, brexit merchant, or any of the above in combinations. Who knows. Hopefully it’s points for me.
BENCH:
McNeil (CAR)
CAP:
Son (HUD)
Going with who I consider my highest upside guy in Son. Really could be a hatty and I think with 3.5 full days off before City in UCL they should be fine legs wise to go out and just dumpster on the shittiest team in the division. Shrug.

EPL Preview 2022: Southampton
Last Year's Finish: 15th
Predicted Finish: 18th
Odds To Win EPL: 500-1 via OddsChecker
Prospects:
When Southampton are good, they are a top-half Premier League team. And when they are bad, they are relegation-grade fodder. Since Ralph Hasenhüttl pitched up in late 2018, the problem is that you never know which version you’re going to get. Unfortunately, that’s about the most exciting bit about being a Southampton fan right now. As of right now? They're relegation fodder
. After failing to replace Danny Ings at the start of last season, Southampton took 10 matches to win their first game, and finished the campaign with a worse goal difference (-24) than relegated Burnley, with only a purple patch in February keeping the club above the drop zone.
Transfers have been hit-or-miss for a while – the idea of Saints having a player good enough to sell to Liverpool these days seems a little far-fetched. This summer’s transfer policy of paying more than £23m for Manchester City academy players seems a little risky until you remember the success of both Tino Livramento and Armando Broja (from Chelsea) last season. If Southampton do one thing well, it’s spot a good youngster. It’s the rest of the recruitment you have to worry about.
The fate of their season depends on the fitness and form of captain James Ward-Prowse – top scorer (11 goals) and creator in chief (eight assists) last year – as well as whether they can find a goalscorer. Broja has gone back to Chelsea, and their only other goal threat, Che Adams has been a mixed bag.
Transfer Coup:
Many balked at the initial £12m deal for Roméo Lavia, an 18-year-old who had made just two senior appearances for Manchester City. That said? This is a player highly-rated by Pep Guardiola. Lavia was the sole teenage member of City’s academy to be named on their 21-strong squad for last season’s Champions League group stage and the Premier League champions have included a £40m buy-back clause in the deal with Saints. A defensive midfielder, the Belgian will provide competition for Oriol Romeu but has a better passing range and is more mobile than the Spaniard. Expect to see plenty of the youngster.
The Manager:
“After spending time with Hasenhüttl, I can say I really like him and he’s really smart.” So said the club’s new owner, Dragan Solak, upon taking over in January. Solak spoke about building a top-10 team, but the likelihood is Hasenhüttl will again be fighting relegation as this is a squad that needed an overhaul, not a tweak. Heavy defeats are not limited to the 9-0s: Southampton finished last season with two draws and 10 losses in 13 matches, with five of those defeats being by a margin of at least three goals. The "Alphine Klopp", his teams will press and pressure you, but his system needs talent at his disposal and quite frankly, this team either has no talent or is too young to be quantified as talent.
Outcome:
18th. Southampton is too reliant on the success and the prowess of one player - be it goals, assists or free-kicks from a man in James-Ward Prowse that should have already been called upon by a better squad. JWP deserves Euorpean football, but he remains the loan bright spot on a team in serious need of an overhaul. Perhaps JWP gets his wish and is sold in January, or perhaps he becomes relegation fodder when this team goes down, but Southampton will finish no better than 18th, which is a shame considering Hasenhüttl is a good manager with progressive tactics and proper man-management. He just doesn't have the talent.

Automation Testing Through Cypress
Cypress is a tool that contains all the necessary components for testing web pages in a package to speed up test writing. The package.json helps to track which packages are installed in the Cypress Automation Framework and it also helps to create shortcut commands to perform tests.
Cypress is a test framework for developers, specialists and users to write user tests with JavaScript. It interacts with various test automation tools such as selenium and protractors. It does not rely on selenium because it does not require drivers to communicate with the browser, leading to faster testing.
It interacts with Web Browsers and is able to test modern web applications based on the React and AngularJS frameworks. It provides a complete end-to-end testing experience in your browser so you can see your tests automated manner. Not only is it able to automate end-to-end tests regardless of our application, but it is also able to test unit test methods, model classes, service classes, etc.
In addition to the leading Selenium WebDriver Framework with multiple languages bindings and an integrated grid architecture, Cypress also benefits from its test execution capabilities during the testing phase. In general, it is designed for front-end developers who want to write tests in a programming language where they are more likely to use JavaScript without the complicated setup overhead of selenium. We looked at the Cypress Test Automation Framework, an open-source test runner with a paid dashboard service, and tried out the Cypress test with the cloud-based grids of Lamdatest.
It is a testing framework that allows you to run tests in parallel to achieve optimal browser coverage, which is impossible if you run tests in a local setup. Cypress can also be used to test the functionality of mobile web browsers or test mobile applications designed for browsers using frameworks such as Ionic. If you want your developers to be involved in software testing, Cypress is probably a better tool than selenium and fits better with traditional teams that don't try to integrate development roles.
Cypress is an automation tool that supports cross-browser testing between Edge, Firefox and Chrome. It can be used to test a wide range of applications in all operational browsers. Unlike selenium, where tests are performed using the JWP protocol in a browser-driven browser, it runs the same loop in both the browser and the application.
It provides the inherent ability to develop test automation frameworks that implement the Page Object pattern. Cypress automation tools can be used, unlike other tools, for a variety of tests such as unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests and API tests. When testing code in an application that runs in the same browser, the framework can access the JS objects of the application.
We use the default folder structure provided by Cypress to manage our test cases and write them in the Cypress Workshop project to learn how to use it and its basic test cases. With it, you can write integration, unit and end-to-end tests and run them.
Cypress runs on a Node.js server and communicates with a Test Run runner in the browser who instrumentalizes it to run an application in an iframe and to test code in another iframe in the same event loop.
As a test scriptwriter, Cypress provides you with a visual interface to indicate whether the test commands have been successfully executed, passed, or failed. Using the same concept, it uses a locator to identify the UI elements of the application to be tested. It can also record a video of the entire execution of the test suite when executed from the command line interface. We decided that the QA engineers would be responsible for writing the new tests and help others change them, but our working patterns coupled with the ease of use of Cypress led us to conclude that the front end team alone would be responsible for changing the tests without QA help. With my knowledge of Testing Pyramid framework and writing TestRails Test Cases using filters and priority levels, I decided to automate everything with Cypress.
