Jest and Enzyme Testing

Course Summary

The Jest and Enzyme Testing course is designed to provide a comprehensive training on testing with Jest and Enzyme.

This course begins with an introduction to both Jest and Enzyme including a review of class architecture, test applications and using Jest and Enzyme to validate accessibility requirements. Students will then explore how to do tests, code coverage, and snapshots. The course concludes with a dive into test mocking, shallow rendering of components, and full rendering.

This course uses a mixture of lecture and hands-on labs to reinforce learning.

Purpose
 Learn the workings of the Jest testing framework along with the testing utility Enzyme.
Audience
