Automated Testing for React Projects 🚀

Automated testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of React projects. By automating tests, developers can catch bugs early, streamline workflows, and deliver high-quality code consistently. This repository provides an overview of the importance of automated testing, how it boosts testing for React apps, and the significance of Vitest framework and Testing Library and more.

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! ☕
