Mock Your Backend with Cypress

Using cy.server, cy.route, and cy.wait, we can intercept requests to our real backend, and return known mock responses.

The pros of using this approach:

• It's much faster than interacting with the real backend
• Doesn't need to seed data to the backend
• Easy control of requests and responses
• Can mock network delay and failure

Cons:

• No guarantee the stubs match the real backend responses
• Not full end-to-end testing

Recommended Homework:

• Mock the route to create a new todo, and reply with a 200
• Mock the route to edit an existing todo, and reply with a 200
