In modern mobile applications, it is important to test the front-end application code. End-to-end tests are slow, expensive and fragile. The mobile code can and should be tested by unit and component tests, to make tests quick, easy to write and find where exact problems are.
In this 1-day course, we’re going to understand how mobile developer tests add to quality, what to focus in our tests, and how to do it in React Native.
End-to-end tests are not enough – if they are the only tool in our belt, we won’t cover enough, spend time on writing fragile tests, and then spend a lot of time debugging when they fail. The front-end app tests, increase the app quality, and pinpoint the problems when they are included in the development cycle.
Audience: React Native developers.
Course total length: 1 day
Remote and on-site options.
