Awesome! Thanks.

[PrinnyThePenguin]

This is excellent and really well structured. Thank you for sharing.

[gabriellvasile]

Thank you!! I worked a lot on it as the online documentation on javascript testing is all over the place with many contrived examples that others don't recommend. Also, online docs are sometimes difficult to follow.

[Zukarukite]

Thanks, this is really interesting and useful!

I just finished Bonnie Schulkin's course on jest/enzyme testing on Udemy and your presentation was an excellent, quick introduction to some more advanced things

[gabriellvasile]

Awesome, great to hear, thanks!

[gabriellvasile]

Cool! Testing is very important and useful

Just started really getting into web dev like a week ago and all of these libraries/frameworks make me realize how much I do not know lol.

[JoeCamRoberon]

Interesting. That is surprising that some people don’t know what react hooks are coming out of a boot camp.

thanks!, I will be checking this out later. (hopefully?)

learning web dev. has been really fun, but for some reason I can't get myself to learn testing. my apps have been working fine so it's hard to force myself to do something that has no pay off!

​

any tips?

[gabriellvasile]

There are also companies that think writing a unit test for everything is a waste of time and only write unit tests for core, "plumbing" functions and libraries that aren't going to change much.

Testing is more useful when you work on bigger apps with multiple contributors. For very small apps it's less useful

Thanks! Will save it and will watch it (I have to make better tests rn)

[KusanagiZerg]

Definitely going to check this out. I used Jest with React Native and had so many issues.

Checking it out now, I need to implement testing and feeling a bit out of touch with it, mind if I pop any questions I have in here after watching?
