Cypress Workshops

I have been teaching Cypress workshops both in person and remotely. All my standard workshops are open source - each repository contains the slides with the material and the practice exercises you can do on your own. But people love having me as their instructor because I can answer all their questions, and go deep into the details of how the things work, why Cypress is built like that, and how to write the best possible tests.

What People Are Saying

  • Unless you hear it from an expert you will always doubt whether you are doing it right or wrong, or if there's a better approach. Put an end to your sleepless nights and have a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear it from Gleb.
  • Go from "What's Cypress?" to "How did I live without Cypress?" in the first hour of being introduced to this powerful and easy-to-use testing framework.

  • Custom

    Want to create a custom workshop specifically for your organization? No problem! Collect the topics and the questions from your QA and Dev teams, and send it my way. I will create a custom-tailored workshop that covers the topics relevant to your team. Possible ideas: Cypress plugins, debugging failed tests, Cypress vs Playwright.

  • Workshop Q&A

    There is one more thing I can offer you. Since my workshops are open-source, you can go through the material and practice exercises yourself. Then invite me for a remote Q&A session where I can answer any questions.

Company rates: $10k for a standard full-day 8 hour workshop with fewer than 30 people. For companies over 10,000 employees, or audiences of more than 30 people the full-day rate is $20k. Conference rates: it depends, we can talk. For "Workshop Q&A" session the rate is $1k per hour.
