React and Redux took the world by storm. These JavaScript libraries allow you to write applications consisting of reusable components while avoiding bugs related to side-effects. But I suspect that developers do not unit test their React/Redux code. Or at least not as much as they could. During this talk, I will showcase the unit tests we have written for our eventriX product. These tests run fast and cover the most important aspects of our client-side code running in the browser. These practical real-world examples could inspire you to write more and better unit tests for your own React/Redux application.

10. Enzyme is a JavaScript testing utility for React
that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and
traverse your React Components' output.

11. Jest: Capture snapshots of React trees or other
serializable values to simplify testing and to
analyze how state changes over time.
describe('Welcome (Snapshot)', () => {
it('Welcome renders hello world', () => {
const json = renderer.create(<Welcome />).toJSON();
expect(json).toMatchSnapshot();
});
});

12. Mocha is a JavaScript test framework
running on Node.js and in the browser.
var assert = require('assert');
describe('Array', function() {
describe('#indexOf()', function() {
it('should return -1 when the value is not present', function() {
assert.equal(-1, [1,2,3].indexOf(4));
});
});
});

13. Chai ­ assertion library for node and
the browser that can be paired with any
javascript testing framework.
expect(foo).to.be.a('string');
expect(foo).to.equal('bar');
expect(foo).to.have.lengthOf(3);
expect(tea).to.have.property('flavors').with.lengthOf(3);

14. Sinon.js ­ spies, stubs and mocks for
JavaScript. Works with any unit testing
framework.
it('makes a GET request for todo items', function () {
sinon.stub(jQuery, 'ajax');
getTodos(42, callbackFunction);
assert(jQuery.ajax.calledWithMatch({
url: '/todo/42/items'
}));
});

16. Other testing tools:
● redux­mock­store ­ A mock store for testing
your redux async action creators and
middleware.
● fetch­mock ­ mock http requests made using
fetch

17. Istanbul – code coverage tool that works well
with most JavaScript testing
frameworks: tap, mocha, AVA, etc.
