💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of check() to check the box.

Using incorrect assertion like 'be.visible'.

The check() command simulates a user checking the checkbox. The should('be.checked') assertion verifies the checkbox is checked, confirming the interaction worked.

hard

Fill all three blanks to simulate typing, clicking a submit button, and asserting a success message appears.

Cypress

cy.get('input[name="email"]').[1]('[e-mail]')
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').[2]()
cy.get('.success-message').should('[3]')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Atype

Bclick

Cbe.visible

Dcheck

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using check() instead of click() for the button.

Missing the assertion for the success message.

First, type() simulates entering the email. Then, click() simulates pressing the submit button. Finally, should('be.visible') checks that the success message is shown, confirming the form submission worked.
