Test-Driven Development with React
What you'll learn
- Test-Driven Development
Requirements
- React basics
- React unit testing basics
Description
If you already heard of TDD but were wondering how it is supposed to work for developing React apps, this course is for you. We will build a few features in a pretend home rental application. I will show you how to write a failing test first (step 1), then make it pass by writing code (step 2), then refactor the code (step 3). These features include:
building the app header (easy)
fetching the list of rental homes from the API and displaying it on the page (intermediate)
building a rental booking dialog (complex)
After completing this course, you will gain the full power of TDD which provides you with:
better focus: you end up writing a lot less code because you need just enough to make the test pass, and anything else is a distraction and can be ignored
better architecture: you get less tightly coupled code and more cohesive components
fewer bugs and simpler maintenance
high test coverage: you have more confidence that everything is working
documented behavior: the tests describe the intended behavior of the component and document the edge cases
it's easy to pick up after the last context switch: when I return to my code the following day, the next step is always to get the test to pass or write the next one or refactor
Hope you'll find this course helpful. Please don't hesitate to leave feedback!

Instructor
After getting a Master's Degree in Computer Science and going from an intern to a Senior Software Developer, I learned one thing.
College degree is absolutely not necessary if you want to become a software engineer.
All of my skills I learned from watching how others write code and trying to be as good as them. Very little of my college degree was useful in that regard.
That's why I want to share what I've learned with the rest of the world through sites like Udemy and YouTube so that you can learn how to solve real challenges by building real apps with me.
