Run Tests - No Reset

Jest is a framework for testing applications developed in JavaScript. It has a well-documented and well-maintained range of tools to run tests in parallel. It is simple and works with projects using Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular, Vue, etc. It works well for both client and server testing. 

This course covers Jest in-depth and is agnostic of any specific JavaScript framework. The course begins with the fundamentals of Jest testing, deconstructing the components of a test and covering how to compose basic unit tests and snapshot tests with Jest correctly. Next, it shows the testing of asynchronous code and the code that relies on external dependencies. Lastly, this course illustrates how Jest testing can effectively integrate into the real-world software development cycle through CI/CD pipeline.

It gives you hands-on experience in setting up Jest, types of testing, testing coverage, mocking, and native tooling depth.
