Key benefits

  • Get to grips with React Testing Library and create tests that don't break with changes in implementation
  • Learn how to put RTL into practice by implementing it in real-world scenarios
  • Test apps to be more accessible and ensure your tests will work with actual DOM nodes

Description

React Testing Library (RTL) is a lightweight and easy-to-use tool for testing the document object model (DOM) output of components. This book will show you how to use this modern, user-friendly tool to test React components, reducing the risk that your application will not work as expected in production. The book demonstrates code snippets that will allow you to implement RTL easily, helping you to understand the guiding principles of the DOM Testing Library to write tests from the perspective of the user. You'll explore the advantages of testing components from the perspective of individuals who will actually use your components, and use test-driven development (TDD) to drive the process of writing tests. As you advance, you'll discover how to add RTL to React projects, test components using the Context API, and also learn how to write user interface (UI) end-to-end tests using the popular Cypress library. Throughout this book, you’ll work with practical examples and useful explanations to be able to confidently create tests that don't break when changes are made. By the end of this React book, you will have learned all you need to be able to test React components confidently.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software engineers, quality engineers and React developers who want to learn about modern practices used for testing React components using the latest testing tool, RTL. Basic knowledge of React development is required to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

I am thankful with the person that recommended this book to me, I started learning React just a few months ago and I can say that I am hooked with this framework, but I have to recognize that for me is really difficult to test the codes, find bugs :(, so I was struggling a lot to do it due to the nature of react but after I read the book I found the best way to test really complex components. The book is easy to follow with detailed instructions and great examples, well explained and written but also you gonna learn best practices, if you want to improve your testing skill as a developer don't lose the opportunity and read this book, it is really worthy, packed of knowledge and experience. Believe me you will not regret!

Scottie has a great way of explaining React development and testing. This book has been a huge help for me as I continue to learn React. It is easy to follow with detailed instructions and great examples. I would highly recommend this book to any developer that wants to improve their React testing skills.

Testing is one of those things that is teaching last. It is rare to find courses that include testing within the curriculum. But in the workplace, testing is a must, and this book will help you do it. I love that this book considers every detail. It considers the challenges that you face when working as a developer. And it teaches you from learn to test the DOM, through testing complex components to refactoring legacy applications and UI End-To-End with Cypress. I really would like to find a book that teaches React and testing at the same time.

And so I felt when I started working with this book. It is simple, not in depth explanations, yet useful to starting testing right away. I guess that if someone is looking for a more detailed book, this one might not be the right one, but I still think that it is a good fast intro for testing with RTL. It is true that the content you might find somewhere else too, but here you have it all in one place (again, basic, right?).

I have watched countless videos, and trainings for React and by far this book has been the biggest help! It is easy to follow and contains extremely well detailed instructions and examples. The way Scottie explains these React concepts just makes sense! I would highly recommend this book to any developer and QA tester that wants to improve their React testing skills. This book is a great tool for any QA Automation Engineer looking to improve their testing skill, or just add another tool to their skill list.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
