Explore why automation testing matters in the project lifecycle, identifying bugs before production and enabling faster, scalable regression testing with higher code coverage.
Identify prerequisites for this Angular unit testing course: clone the GitHub repository, verify Node and npm installations, install tools, create a new Angular project named Dustman, and prepare Jasmine-driven tests.
Discover how jasmine and karma enable angular unit testing, covering the jasmine framework, karma configuration, spec files, and test execution across chrome, headless chrome, firefox, and safari.
Write the first unit test using describe and it blocks, validating that one plus one equals two. Create a failing spec to illustrate expectations and test structure.
Explore how to structure Angular unit tests using arrange, act, and assert by building a simple post component with like and dislike methods, a total likes property, and spec-driven assertions.
Set up and tear down in Angular unit tests demonstrate using before all, after all, before each, and after each to isolate specs and ensure tests with Jasmine and Karma.
Explore the difference between code coverage and test coverage, and run ng test --code-coverage to generate a report that highlights branches, statements, and functions.
Learn to identify and fix fragile tests in Angular unit tests with Jasmine and Karma, focusing on single responsibility, robust assertions, and using contain to avoid brittle string checks.
Understand the key differences between unit testing and integration testing, including when to use each, their advantages, and how integration tests verify rendered templates in Angular components.
Demonstrates building and testing a simple post feature with reactive forms in Angular, including validation, add and delete post, and unit tests for components with a JSON placeholder service.
Configure the test bed for angular reactive forms, build and validate form controls, test required fields and submission, and verify emitted values with spies.
Learn how to use the spyOn method in Angular testing to intercept emitters, replace with a fake, and verify events by dispatching and asserting calls.
Learn to write unit tests for Angular directives by using mock services and spies, testing structural, attribute, and custom directives with fixtures and fake async patterns.
Learn to test Angular router methods and routing behavior using a practical approach: set up tests, verify routes exist, spy on navigation, and simulate clicks to validate navigation outcomes.
Learn to write asynchronous tests in Jasmine and Karma using fakeAsync and observables, including add post and delete post workflows, spies, and call through to validate subscriptions and improve coverage.
Learn to set up jasmine marbles for angular unit tests, use model diagrams and marble diagrams to test asynchronous observables, including emissions, completion, and errors.
Conclude by applying your unit testing knowledge to a wrangler application, writing test cases for the user API. Practice, integrate concepts, and pursue best practices in future courses.

The primary goal of this course is to teach students the fundamental concepts of Angular unit testing using Jasmine & Karma.
The course is designed to help developers gain theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills on how to write automated tests for your Angular apps to further your career.
Everything is covered step by step.
YOU WILL LEARN:
How to write automated tests for your Angular apps by learning the basic functionality of Jasmine / Karma
Advanced testing techniques with Jasmine: Asynchronous testing, Marble testing, reactive forms, SpyOn method and more...
The best practices of automation testing like: Code coverage vs test coverage, No fragile tests, arrange act assert and more...
Practical demonstration & exercises on how to write test cases for phones, routes etc.
Much more...
Throughout the course, I will give you practical exercises for you to test out your new Jasmine testing skills.
When you are finished with this course, you will have laid the foundation for your future automation testing job or promotion.
I look forward to meeting you in the course forum where I'll be available to help you along the way and answer questions that you might have.
WHAT IS JASMINE/KARMA/ANGULAR?
Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.
Karma is a test runner that fits all our needs in the angular framework.
Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source web application framework led by the Angular Team at Google. It aims to simplify both the development and the testing of applications by providing a framework for client-side model–view–controller (MVC) and model–view–viewmodel (MVVM) architectures, along with components commonly used in rich Internet applications.
TOP 3 BENEFITS OF LEARNING JASMINE TESTING?
1: High demand. There is a high demand for skilled angular testing experts.
2: A usable skill. In current times, automation plays a vital role in most development projects. Updating yourself with these testing methodologies is going to save hours of regression testing.
3: Further your career. Software companies all around the world are actively seeking out, competent Angular / Jasmine code testers. There are not a lot of them, so the pay is good. If you learn automation testing, a promotion or a new job is a likely outcome.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Automation testing needed?
Well, to be honest, in small scale startups I don’t think it isn’t going to add much value since your main priority will be application code.
However, in large organizations, it is mandatory and is becoming so more and more.
How is this course different from other Angular courses?
This course focusses specifically on javascript testing using Jasmine. While other courses may be wide and shallow, in this course you will be sure to acquire practical unit testing skills with Jasmine once you are finished.
