What you'll learn

At the heart of building durable and reliable React applications is a solid understanding of testing, starting with Jest. In this course, Testing React Applications with Jest, you will learn everything you need to do to create solid tests for your React components and applications. First, you’ll learn how to install Jest on any machine, run tests with it via the command line, and integrate it with any Node project. Next, you’ll dive into the various testing techniques, including globals, mocking, and snapshot testing that you can use to make your tests more readable and efficient. Finally, you'll explore how to use all these techniques to test React components and the applications they belong to. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll be able to immediately start writing tests for your React applications, discuss testing strategies and techniques in the workplace, and facilitate development by setting up and configuring Jest.
