Javascript Testing Fundamentals
Remote Workshop ā¢ 8-12 Hours
Using Jest and React Testing Library
Hi there, I'm Sandrina Pereira and I enjoy refactoring code with the confidence of not breaking my apps.
This workshop will be covering everything from testing principles to how to fully test a Javascript application built with React.
The workshop is packed with real-world examples where we'll cover multiple testing patterns and techniques. You'll be ready to apply the new techniques to pretty much any testing tool or JS application project right away.
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
- Recognise the importance of testing frameworks;
- Distinguish different types of tests and when to use each one;
- Write effective unit tests to pure modules;
- Write readable and consistent test descriptions;
- Test modules integrated with external APIs;
- Identify when a party dependency needs to be mocked and how to do it;
- Test simple React components;
- Test complex React components that depend on context or hooks;
- Know what code coverage is and how to properly use it;
- Level up your testings skills proficiency regardless of the tools used;
- Deliver code with confidence, free from critical bugs;
- All of this, using Jest and Testing Library ecosystems
