Angular Unit Testing Tricks and Tips

Riviera

Pete Bacon Darwin

In this workshop, we will cover how to successfully unit test your Angular 2 apps. We will look at common testing tasks and how to avoid the pitfalls when writing unit tests.

Suitable for developers who:

have a basic understanding of Angular 2
are looking to start or improve their unit testing

You will learn how to:

use the Angular 2 test helpers such as the TestBed
create effective unit tests for Services, Pipes, Directives and Components
write tests that handle asynchronous code
use best practices for tests that involve Dependency Injection, Observables, Routing, Lifecycle Hooks
to keep your tests maintainable so that they can be worked on by other developers months and years later

What you’ll need:

your own laptop – you will be hands-on building and testing code
a basic understanding of Angular 2 – the course does not teach Angular 2
a desire to make the world a better place (through testing)

Note that this course will not cover writing end to end tests with Protractor.
