Six Technical Sessions That Will Change How You Think About Testing

Tired of expensive learning materials that take weeks to complete but teach you nothing you can't Google? Fed up with content that assumes you're still figuring out basic assertions when you're managing complex test architectures?

CypressConf 2025 workshops solve the learning problem that plagues experienced developers: finding advanced, practical content that matches your skill level and specific to your setup without the cost barriers or time wasting. Over two exclusive workshop days (October 23–24), global industry practitioners will teach you competitive skills you can implement Monday morning. These workshops were designed based on years of attendee feedback from our global community, focusing on the real problems you've told us you're solving right now.

Slack 'n' Roll: CI/CD Pipelines with GHA
Led by: Tanya Sahni, Software Developer in Test at Fashion Cloud

Your CI/CD pipeline should work for you, not against you. Tanya will show how to integrate Cypress into GitHub Actions so your tests run automatically and notify your team intelligently. This intermediate to advanced workshop assumes you're already comfortable with CI/CD concepts and want to build pipelines whose scale reliably", eliminating the manual check dance that wastes hours every sprint and positioning you as the developer who builds systems that move as fast as your code.

Advocate for Quality Within Your Company
Led by: Péter Földházi, Quality Architect at EPAM Systems

Quality isn't just a QA responsibility. It's an organizational capability. This senior-level workshop teaches experienced QA professionals how to become effective advocates for quality across engineering teams. You'll learn to speak business language while maintaining technical standards, turning quality from a cost center into a competitive advantage and transforming how your organization views testing so you lead change instead of reacting to it.

Operationalizing Quality with Data That Matters
Presented by: Dan Johansen, Senior Product Manager at Cypress.io

Raw testing data is noise. Actionable insights are signal. Dan demonstrates how to turn test results into meaningful metrics that improve release decisions. This intermediate to senior workshop teaches which data points actually matter and how to present them in ways that influence engineering strategy, enabling you to make data-driven quality decisions that leadership understands and supports.

Data Driven Testing with Cypress
Delivered by: Marko Kolasinac, CEO at Assert QA, and Dejan Živković, QA Automation Engineer at Assert QA

Hardcoded test data creates maintenance nightmares. This intermediate workshop shows how to design resilient, data-powered testing strategies that don't interfere with production systems. Marko and Dejan assume you understand testing fundamentals and focus on building migration approaches that scale without the complexity overhead that kills productivity.

Simplifying Cypress Testing
Led by: Walmyr Filho, Instructor and Founder at Talking About Testing

Writing Cypress tests isn't just writing JavaScript. It requires different thinking. Whether you're new to Cypress or have been using it for years, Walmyr shares practical techniques for writing maintainable tests that grow with your product complexity. You'll learn patterns that prevent technical debt before it accumulates, building tests that remain valuable as your codebase evolves rather than becoming liabilities.

Authentication Workflows with Cypress & Mailosaur
Led by: Filip Hric, Developer Educator at filiphric.com

Authentication testing is notoriously brittle. Filip walks through testing authentication flows so your login and access systems remain reliable across environments. This intermediate to advanced workshop handles real-world scenarios including email verification, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access, helping you secure reliable user experiences without compromising test stability.

What Makes These Workshops Different

These sessions were built from years of global community feedback. Developers told us they needed advanced content that respects their experience level, practical sessions they could apply immediately, and learning opportunities that didn't require expensive course subscriptions or weeks of commitment.

Each workshop delivers concentrated expertise from practitioners who've built testing systems at scale. No generic tutorials. No basic concepts you already know. Just advanced techniques that solve real problems you're encountering in production environments.

Workshop seats are intentionally limited and fill fast. You must be registered for CypressConf 2025 to access workshops, and early registrants get first access before standby lists open.
