List all Querying Commands

Difficulty: 5/10

querying commands, element selection, DOM traversal

These commands are used to select and retrieve elements or properties from the DOM:

1
cy.get(selector): Selects elements matching the given CSS selector.
2
cy.contains(text): Finds elements containing the specified text.
3
cy.find(selector): Finds descendant elements of the current subject.
4
cy.children(): Gets the children of each element in the set of matched elements.
5
cy.parent(): Gets the parent of each element in the set of matched elements.
6
cy.eq(index): Selects the element at the specified index.

Scenario Questions

0-2 years experience

1How would you use Cypress to verify that a button with the text 'Submit' is visible on the page?
2If you need to select the third item in a list with class '.menu-item', which querying command would you use and how?
3What happens if you chain .find() after .get() on the same selector?

Follow-up Questions

What would you do if the element you need is inside an iframe?
How do you decide between using a CSS selector versus a data-test attribute?
Can you describe a situation where you had to adjust the default timeout?

cy.first() / cy.last(): Selects the first or last element in a set.

8

cy.prev() / cy.next(): Gets the previous or next sibling element.

9

cy.siblings(): Gets all sibling elements.

10

cy.root(): Gets the root DOM element.

11

cy.document(): Gets the document object.

12

cy.window(): Gets the window object.

13

cy.title(): Gets the page title.

14

cy.url(): Gets the current URL.

15

cy.location(): Gets the location object.

16

cy.hash(): Gets the current URL hash.

17

cy.invoke(functionName): Invokes a function on the current subject.

18

cy.its(propertyName): Gets a property of the current subject.

19

cy.wrap(value): Wraps a value into a Cypress chainable object.

1You have a dynamic table where rows are added via AJAX. How would you write a Cypress test that asserts a newly added row contains the expected data, and what querying commands would you combine?
2During a test run, cy.get('.status') sometimes returns no element, causing a timeout. How would you debug this using Cypress querying options?
3Explain why using cy.contains('Delete') inside a specific parent element might be more reliable than a generic cy.get selector in a component with multiple delete buttons.

5-8 years experience

1Your team wants to create a reusable component test library that abstracts common querying patterns. How would you design Cypress custom commands to encapsulate complex queries while keeping tests maintainable?
2In a large application, tests are flaky due to timing issues with element visibility. How would you leverage Cypress querying command options like timeout and force, and what trade‑offs does each introduce?
3Discuss the performance implications of using deep DOM traversal commands like .find() versus more specific selectors in a test suite that runs thousands of times per CI build.

8+ years experience

1Your organization is standardizing testing practices across multiple product teams. How would you define a strategy for choosing querying commands versus custom data-test attributes, and what architectural considerations would guide that decision?
2If you need to migrate a legacy test suite that heavily relies on brittle CSS selectors to a more robust querying approach, what steps would you take at the organization level, and how would you measure success?
3Consider a scenario where you need to support both Cypress and Playwright in the same repository. How would you abstract querying logic to minimize duplication and ensure consistency across the two frameworks?
