This post aims to answer a simple question, which is, indeed, its title: “Which tools are used for unit testing in Angular?” I bet most people when they hear this question immediately answer “Jasmine and Karma,” and that makes sense. After all, these are the default tools installed along with Angular CLI, so they represent…

Today we’re here to talk about JavaScript unit testing in Visual Studio. If you’re a .NET developer creating web applications in Visual Studio, it makes sense for you to use just a single environment to test both your C# (or another .NET language) code and your JavaScript code. In this post, we’re going to walk…
Components are one of the basic concepts of Angular applications. Thus, if you want to make sure your app is as high quality as it can possibly be, you’ve got to give those basic building blocks some love. When it comes to software quality, testing is caring, so let’s see how to perform Angular unit…
The title question might seem a very straightforward one. “Who performs testing?” Testers, of course! It’s in the name! That answer would be a very short blog, and also not very interesting. In today’s post, we’ll argue that software testing is no longer the responsibility of a single person or team and that instead of…
Mocha is a popular JavaScript test framework that’s often used for testing Node.js applications. It’s a widely used testing tool for both JavaScript and TypeScript projects. However, using Mocha with TypeScript is a little different than JavaScript because TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript and, thus, requires type definitions for many of its features….
Many people, upon hearing “automated testing,” automatically think of unit tests. That’s understandable; after all, unit testing is one of the most well-known types of automated tests. However, it’s far from being the only one. We have UI testing, end-to-end testing, load testing, and that’s just to name a few. Today’s post—as you can see…
We all know that unit tests must not interact with external dependencies—databases, HTTP services, the filesystem, etc. You must resort to mocking those dependencies. This presents a problem: sometimes you have to mock code you didn’t write, presented in the form of static methods. In this post, you’ll learn how to deal with this challenge…
Getting started with unit testing can seem like a daunting task. There’s plenty to learn, such as what unit testing is in the first place and why it’s valuable, what the best practices are when writing tests, and which tools to choose. We’ve already published a post covering the unit test frameworks for JavaScript; now,…
Automated testing is a must for any modern software development organization. That’s why you must know and master tools in that space if you have any hope of producing high-quality code. Fortunately, there is a huge variety of testing tools available. These tools cater to virtually every need of a comprehensive testing strategy. When it…
Unit testing is important to verify the behavior of the smallest units of code in your application. It helps improve the quality of your code and reduces the amount of time and money you spend on bug fixing. Moreover, unit testing helps you find bugs early on in the development life cycle and increases your…
