After installing cypress on windows if a user is getting the below error message to open cypress then need to perform step 1 and step 2 to resolve the cypress verification time out issue
Package.json is a file found in all npm packages and is normally found in the project root.
It contains various metadata about the project.
This file provides information to npm so that it can identify the project and handle its dependencies.
It can also contain other metadata, such as a project description, the project’s version.
A Node.js project’s package.json file is usually found in the root directory.
This example of package.json file used for writing code using cypress
{“devDependencies”: {“cypress”: “9.5.2”}}
What are devDependencies in the package.json file?
Dependencies are specified with a simple hash of package name to version range. The version range is a string that has one or more space-separated descriptions. Dependencies can also be identified with a tarball or gitUrl.
devDependencies: Packages that are only needed for local development and testing.
What is tarball?
The tarball is a compressed file format. You need to unpack it before running the npm command.
What is "dependencies" in package.json file?
"dependencies": Packages required by your application in production.

Below are some predictions and analysis for a couple of years from now mainly the year 2022 for the software testing Testing industry.
The software industry is transforming in terms of technology like IoT. Development methodology like DevOps.
The given information is based on individual analysis and expertise achieved while working over a decade.
Looking at the current trend it clearly shows Software Development Engineers in Test roles will be in demand. in place of plain software tester role. The candidate who can participate in the development and test the application as well will have more preferences than traditional testers. A person who has manual testing skills along with Business domain, Black Box testing, design, and programming skills will have more preference.
Many Open source tools are capturing the huge testing market share. Tools like selenium, cypress, Katalon are widely accepted by the industry. Job trends show the open-source tools have more requirements as compared to commercial.
There is smart shifting going on from traditional testing to smart quality engineering. A person having multiple skills like Exploratory testing, Automation testing, a Business analyst with basic development knowledge will be preferred.
In the fast-changing technology world, the customer is looking for the very early to go in the market. So Those who are having the best QA practices like continuous testing with less time by providing the highest quality will have more chances to win projects. Speed and quality will be the key this year. To achieve this one should have good testing knowledge along with continuous automation testing.
As digital transformation is key to success so person or company who provides services that help customers to launch applications or products in very little or reduced time. In this digital world amount of digital data is getting produced continuously each year. For big players like Facebook, what’s app, Microsoft, apple, google data is key. So certainly big data testing will be in trend.
As the IoT industry is also growing so IoT testing will be in demand. As per Gartner
The worldwide government Internet of Things (IoT) endpoint electronics and communications market will total $21.3 billion in 2022, according to Gartner, Inc. This is a 22% increase from a forecasted total of $17.5 billion in 2021.
DevOps is providing faster and quality deployment also this is a cost-effective solution. Testing with DevOps will be more important. Companies that are having the process to deploy products using DevOps by maintaining high-quality communication across teams will be more successful.
The conclusion is software Testing is growing but the role of a software tester is getting changed in terms of skills.
Everything you need is to adapt modern skills of testing which lead to success in the year 2022.

Provide necessary information like new username (check for existence), Email Address, and Password
GitHub Will ask to verify the Account. After successful verification account will get created. The free account gives 500 MB space.
Note down your username and password.
Let’s create a simple project locally and upload it on github.
Create a Folder in any drive locally.
Here we are creating a folder in E Drive
E:\Github_C_Program
Open Visual Studio Code and using “File -> Select Folder” Menu select the folder which you created ( for example above we are selecting E:\Github_C_Program)
Local folder in GitHub
Click on New File and Add any html, java, php, c language code in that file and name is accordinly.
Here we have created c program file and added some code in the file
Now we need to upload the above C Project to Github. To perform that we need to
Initialize Repository
Commit Code
Config git (First Time)
Add Remote (Location)
Push Code to Git Hub
First time it will ask to provide GH login password
If require PUsh code again.
Click on Source Control and Click on Initialize Repository.
The system will display similar files which are available in the projects folder
Click on the Commit button (Richt Check Sign) and provide the necessary comment in the message section.
Click on Yes Button so that it will ask always before committing.
The system will throw an error message as git is not configured with VS Code.
In this situation click on Open Git Log button. An editor will display log information in Output Tab like below
To config studio with git permanently you need to run the below command on the Git Command prompt.
git config –global user.email “you@example.com”
git config –global user.name “Your Name”
Make sure to replace the correct email ID which you used while creating GitHub Account
Type Git CMD” in Search and open Git CMD Prompt. By replacing the appropriate email id and Name run the command one by one like below.
Now Go to Visual Studio Editor Again and click on commit again. If you observe code is committed successfully locally.
to Push it to Git Hub we need to create one Repository. To do this login to https://github.com/. We have already created a username and password in earlier steps. Click on the New Repository menu as shown below.
Provide Repository Name same as project Name like below
After Clicking on Create New Repository Button GitHub will display the below message.
Copy the Above highlighted line ( Make sure it should contain your project name and username) and past it on visual studio code terminal and press enter. like below
Now Visual Studio Code is now aware of where it has to push the code. So click on the menu mentioned below to push the code
The first time it will ask you user name and password again. You can provide it if asked.
To conclude after performing every step as mentioned as shown above it will be easy to configure Visual studio code with GitHub.
Once both cypress and Editor are available on the machine then perform the below steps.
Step 1) Open Visual Studio Code.
Step 2) Create a new folder to store the project files or Open any existing project folder to store files.
Step 3) Click on New File menu as shown below.
New file Code
Step 4) Type package.json and save it.
Step 5) In Package.json file need to mention cypress for dev dependency. To do this we have multiple ways. From Terminal Menu Click on New Terminal Menu. We can use this terminal within IDE.
Terminal within IDE
Step 6) Type command “npm install –save-dev cypress” on Terminal and Wait because this will search for package.json file to install the dev dependencies. so add the below code in a package.json file (use IntelliSense if require to type)
“devDependencies”: { “cypress”:”^9.1.1″ }
While writing this blog 9.1.1 was the latest version so use IntelliSense to get the latest version in place of copy-paste.
Save the file and Hit the command “npm install –save-dev cypress” on the terminal.
The terminal will display the below message after installation
PS E:\Cypress Projects> npm install –save-dev cypress npm WARN deprecated querystring@0.2.0: The querystring API is considered Legacy. new code should use the URLSearchParams API instead.
