Gumroad - Mastering React Testing
- 🎯 The Importance of Testing: We discuss the benefits of testing and its role in creating reliable, maintainable, and scalable applications.
- 🛠️ Setting Up the Testing Environment: We introduce Jest, the popular testing framework for JavaScript, and React Testing Library, which simplifies testing React components.
- 🧪 Testing React Components: We delve into the significance of testing user interactions with components, such as button clicks, form submissions, and input field changes. We examine the use of
userEventfrom the React Testing Library to simulate these interactions in a more realistic and comprehensive way. This allows us to validate the component's behavior in response to user actions. - 🚀 Advanced Testing Techniques: We explore techniques such as testing components with asynchronous behavior, using context and hooks, snapshot testing, mocking functions and modules, and testing custom hooks.
- 🔗 Integration Testing: We highlight the importance of integration testing and provide examples of writing integration tests with Jest and React Testing Library.
- 🌟 Testing Strategies and Patterns: We discuss Test-Driven Development (TDD), code coverage, and common testing patterns.
- ⚙️ Optimizing and Scaling React Testing: We cover performance considerations, organizing and structuring test code.
- ♿ Accessibility Testing: We emphasize the importance of accessibility testing and provide examples of writing accessibility tests using Jest and React Testing Library.
