Enabling Code coverage For Jest

Tue 31 December, 2019

Writing tests can either be a quick 5 minute job, it can also be a few hours of hell. The differentiator... is mainly down to how the component has been written. For a lot of codebases that I come across, writing tests is usually harder than it needs to be. Codebases that are hard to test, usually occur when the developers in the team think of tests as an afterthought.

I've been writing and code reviewing tests for over a decade. Due to that experience I tend to naturally build my components in a test friendly way. Some people reading this might be test-first evangelist and no developer should write code until a test has been written. I do agree high-test coverage is an essential part of the development life-cycle, there are situations you just need to get somethings working, then refine it and write tests after you understand a problem is abetter approach.

In this section you will find code examples and tutorials that will help you to test your react components.
