If you’ve never used React before, you should check out my book React+d3.js. In part, because of how it forces us to architect apps using testable patterns, in part, because there are fantastic React test utils. React is the easiest way to achieve these goals. In the ten years I’ve been doing this, I hadn’t found a decent way to test user interaction and view rendering until I started poking at React.

Work with continuous integration systems like Travis.

Make sure the right things render at the right time.

It’s about user events and rendering the right views at the right time.

Unit testing is perfect for fundamentals.īut front-end code isn’t about manipulating data. Unit testing is great: it’s the best way to see if an algorithm does the right thing every time, or to check our input validation logic, or data transformations, or any other isolated operation. Front-End Testing Requires More Than Just Unit Tests What more could we wish for? Well, to actually test our front-end code.

Our React tests run in a terminal or on a continuous integration server, they re-run themselves when we change a file, and we can even test our code in multiple browsers at the same time.

With Karma, front-end testing becomes a full citizen of the tool chain. In 2012, Vojta Jina released the Karma runner (called Testacular at the time). Every framework had its own ideas and in most cases you ended up with a browser window that you would manually refresh every time you wanted to run the tests. It used to be that running front-end tests was the hard part.

Use a test runner, like Karma or Chutzpah.

Use Jasmine or Mocha tests (or whatever) to run functions.

All we need to do for React unit testing is: Or, that calling a function will change the right value. It’s not so bad if all we want is to check that our models behave well. That’s because testing front-end code and UI components is kinda hard.

And our apps were no longer testable in practice. Our most complicated code moved into the browser. Our testable backends became glorified database servers. Five years ago I thought tests were the solution to every problem I’ve ever had. Sure, test-driven development (TDD) is weird at first, but a predictable environment, multiple test runners, test tooling baked into frameworks, and continuous integration support, make life easy. You take your language of choice, pair it with your favourite framework, write some tests, and hit “run.” Your console says “Yay! It works!” Your continuous integration service runs your tests on every push, life is great.
