Outcomes of React Testing 🔍

• Master the fundamentals of testing React applications with React Testing Library.
• Write maintainable, robust, and trustworthy tests that consistently deliver value.
• Efficiently mock API responses with Mock Service Worker (MSW).
• Mock data using @mswjs/data and @faker-js.
• Simulate user events in a test environment.
• Dive into advanced testing techniques involving authentication, state management, routing, etc.
• Master refactoring techniques that pros use to make their code more readable and maintainable.
• Learn from real-world examples and exercises that prepare you for the job.
• Use ESLint to catch code quality issues early.

Importance of Automated Testing 💡

Automated testing is essential for modern software development practices. It helps in:

• Early Bug Detection: Identifying and fixing bugs during development stages, reducing the cost of bug fixes in production.
• Consistent Code Quality: Ensuring that code meets quality standards across different iterations and team members.
• Regression Testing: Automating repetitive tests to check for regressions and ensure new changes don't break existing functionalities.

Getting Started with React Testing 👩🏻‍💻

Follow these steps to set up and run Automated Testing for React Projects on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tayyab-004/react-testing-full-stack.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd react-testing-full-stack
   

3. Create a .env.local File:

   In the root directory of the project, you'll find a sample .env file. Make a copy and save it as .env.local. Replace the Auth0 Domain and Client ID with the actual values you obtained from Auth0.

4. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

5. Start the development server:

   npm start
   

6. To run tests:

   For automated tests using Jest:

   npm run test:ui
   

Happy coding! ☕
