Front-end frameworks, in general, are exploding in popularity, and Vue.js, in particular, has become one of the most popular ones.

As front-end frameworks continue to grow in usage, the ability to incorporate testing has become an essential feature. It's simply the only scalable way to ensure your app is functioning as expected.

You can learn to test your Vue.js applications thoroughly using Jest with this interactive course.

You'll start by learning the simplest unit tests in Jest, and will gradually build up to more intricate tests of different Vue components. To give you practical front-end testing experience, you'll be running your tests on a predefined data rendering Vue.js application.

This course is essential for anyone looking to create robust and effective front-end tests for their Vue apps.

Testing Vue.js Components with Jest

## What is the Need?

We’ve tested how and where the slots render, and that’s probably all we need. However, it doesn’t end there. If you pass component instances as slots, just as we’re doing in the default slot with Message, you can test the functionality related to it.

Be careful of what you test here; this is probably something you don't need to do in most cases since the functional tests of a component should belong to that component test. When talking about testing slots functionality, we test how a slot must behave **in the context of the component where that slot is used**, and that's not very common. Normally we just pass the slot and forget about it. So don't get too stuck to the following example: its only purpose is to demonstrate how the tool works.

Let's say that, for whatever reason, in the context of the `MessageList` component, all the `Message` components must have a length higher than 5. We can test that like:
