Learn Progressive TDD and Timeboxed TDD with TCR (Test && Commit || Revert) approaches.
Learn how to write tests that are easy to read, understand, and maintain over time.
Write tests that validate user behavior, not implementation details.
Craft tests that survive migrations and refactorings with minimal changes.
Learn how to test asynchronous code effectively.
Discover how to choose the appropriate test size for every situation.
Master Fakes and Object Mothers to simplify "mocking" and avoid common pitfalls.
Learn isolated, shallow & integration component testing with TestBed, Testing Library, and Playwright Component Testing.
Implement visual regression testing strategies that scale with Playwright Component Testing.
Test stores effectively and learn when and how to provide test doubles for state management.
Enjoy a buffet of tips and tricks to help you adopt a Pragmatic Testing Strategy.
