Creating unit tests is a skill just like any other part of software development. And creating unit tests that are independent of external systems can be tricky and intimidating to solve that in this course, we're gonna cover spying on functions to see what they're doing, stubbing out functions to control how they behave and mocking functions to verify the behavior is correct. By the end of this course, you'll know how and just as importantly, win to create spies. Stubbs fakes and mocks for your unit tests in Know Js Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with no Js and have a basic understanding of what a unit ______. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn sign and Js with the mocking know Js with signing course at portal site
