Install Cypress for API Automation Testing
I am new to Cypress and trying to use it for API testing. Currently, I am using Cypress for UI automation and installed it in the client directory.
Now I have a confusion, If I am going to use Cypress for API testing do I need to install it again in the server directory? Or is the client directory also fine for API testing?
Solution
The client directory is absolutely fine and it should be done there.
