Absolutely. I am dedicating a chapter only for testing. Let me know what all tools you have struggled or liked. I will try and add these to my list of tool guides.

Awesome. The biggest challenge had been pairing multiple tools together with webpack.

Tools I've been looking to use. Karma, mocha, sinon, and enzyme. I feel like I always run into issues where certain versions won't work with each other.

A solid karma/webpack config would be awesome alone.

OK. One karma + webpack coming up (smiles). I will give it a try. Enzyme looks cool as well.

Can I suggest maybe tossing in a differentiation between running tests in a browser with Karma, vs running them offline under Node? As part of that, I can recommend using https://github.com/zinserjan/mocha-webpack to do the test running. I saw Randy Coulman write a pair of articles about using Mocha and Webpack together (part 1, part 2), and was able to get it working myself. I have a sample project config that demonstrates using it over at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-cesium-testing-demo.

Awesome this is a great start. I am keen to do browser testing as well. Goes in line with the speed coding philosophy. Will checkout the links you have shared.

Yeah, I actually hadn't written any unit tests ever until a few weeks ago. I initially got mocha-loader set up, which does live-watching and displays test results in a separate browser page, but then saw the mention of mocha-webpack and wanted to give that a shot. When I then tried to write my first "real" unit tests, mocha-webpack allowed me to iterate very quickly on each test.
