- Testing is one of those things that people either love or hate. Usually testing is something that is hated, until you work on a project with good tests and you realize how amazing they are. In this video I am going to show you how to get started with testing in JavaScript using Jest. I will talk about the code you need in order to write tests, as well as show you some pitfalls of testing. At the end of the video I will breakdown the importance of testing and some best practices you can adhere to in order to make your tests amazing.

I'm someone who don't comment on videos but whenever I search for a video and see yours, I always choose you. you are the best man
1000% agree.
Notes
- test script: "jest --coverage" will detail what's being tested and what's not
- Unit tests test the smallest part of your code
- toBe() vs toEqual()
i love you mate...
thanlks a million times
This is a developer that truly knows what he's talking about, nonstop, in facts, and fast - short and simple, bite-sized tips to all development. Master branch, honestly.
Nope, he's a normal dev just like us. He just has the power of editing. He got a video on that.
@ I know, that's not what I'm saying - No matter how much debugging he cuts out, the coding and aesthetics themselves are made by a developer that truly knows what he's talking about.
@@deansprivatearchive I agree. And what reinforces it is his incredible diction
@whats the name/link of that video?
Definitely would be interested in more testing videos. A topic I only really became aware of when I started looking at job postings and my home made projects started getting more complex. Appreciate what you do!
This was such a clear and concise explanation; thank you!
This was very well explained and demonstrated, great job Kyle! I think a lot of us would like at least another video going deeper into testing, explaining better practices, and whatnot. Great video, though.
Using this as a first intro to jest for me. Thanks Kyle!!
Me too. Thanks, Kyle! I'll have a technical interview covering jest and this video was helpful. Now I'm going to dive deeper into it.
Amazing tutorial! I was afraid of start studying this topic because it seemed so hard. Now, this video gives me a more clear idea. Thanks!
That's awesome. I was just searching on Udemy for a Jest testing course when this popped up. Weird. I'd would really like to see more testing or production deployment ready based courses. Best practices for making app's well tested and properly staged for active use and deploy. It's a topic that is missed very often.
I agree. I want to try to cover more testing related information on this channel since I find it quite enjoyable.
AI : You're welcome. Human.
Please add more video's on testing. Perhaps a course specifically on this subject. I'm sure many people are interested!!
@@BjornBrasse I agree--I would 100% sign up for a full course on this by Kyle. I loved his React course, and recommend it!
Kyle bro .. i love how you talk smoothly and going step by step without hurry..
I am very interested in more testing videos. This was a great intro for me, and I’m at that point in my self-teaching to start getting into testing my code! Look forward to more.
Thank you! I would definitely recommend getting stated practicing testing since I found it was a skill that took a ton of practice for me to get good at.
Thank you for making this video! I have been curious about automated tests but didn't know where to start. I'm highly interested in a test series💕
Thanks. I'm going through a job interview and they asked me to run unit tests, so this is really helpful as a start. Really appreciate it
Did everything go well??
This is a really great intro to testing using Jest. It would good to see more testing videos, possibly ones that cover plain vanilla (no framework) javascript and testing functions that manipulate DOM.
OMG. I am a Manual Testing upping my technical skills to become an Automated Tester and it is the first video I see (after months of seriously researching a lower than beginner level tutorial) that really help me write my first Javascript testing script in 5min. Thank you so much.
Thanks Kyle,
You are really helpful with your videos, great content, well paced and I love the simplicity of how you make something complicated look simplified.
And yes, I would love more videos on testing, I believe it to be necessary and a must for every developer out there.
Thanks again mate!
Really really good stuff dude! Coming from nearly a decade of professional Android development, moving to web work, I was hoping to find a succinct explanation about quick setup and coverage. Definitely a thumbs up and a sub from me. I know you're focusing on newer devs a lot, but even at the senior level needing a quick intro, very helpful stuff!
Never found a guy so smooth in explanation in 14 minutes.
Came here for a refresher, last time i wrote tests was in school and i really enjoyed them then so excited to refresh my knowledge
It would be nice to have a Jest course for typescript and Express/React. Really helps us understand how to setup testing for our project
Dude! Test seemed like a mile away before I watch this... I get just enough of it to start trying on my own very nice... thanks
Wow, that was amazing, I've got the complete concept of how the test case should look and work, Thanks for the great content Man !!
The video was in the search and I chose your video. I see your 4 years old video and think that you were tired at that time. In latest videos you are more energetic.). Great videos, Kyle. Thank you.
Within 14 minutes, this guy made you learn testing even if you know nothing about it. Thanks!!!
you are so inspiring and such a great teacher! thank you for your hard work
Fantastic tutorial, I love that it's short. Thanks!
This was great! Yes, definitely more testing in JavaScript with next videos please!
Great video! Was very helpful in starting my journey in writing tests for my code.
Thanks man!! Super easier to have the --coverage, super helpfull, and well explained!! Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for this short video. looking forward to see more from you
Yes, would like more testing-related videos. That was great. I think my biggest issue is knowing what exactly to prioritize when testing because as you said, you can test almost everything, even though you probably never will.
I would say you should prioritize the core business logic of your code. Essentially whatever code is the most essential to your project should be tested first.
Great content as always Kyle!
Thank you! I love the way you explain everything
Thank you, your explanation is really simple. I hope more testing video comes up
I was thinking about unit test is so hard for me before I did it, This video makes me feel easily to against testing.Thank you !
I'm a testing expert, and I congratulate you. Your explanation is very clear and understandable! Subscribed.
so why the expert like you is watching tutorial for beginners?
More!! Need a whole series, and also enzyme + jest please!
You're really simplifying web development
Thanks so much for this video
Great video! I've known about testing for a while, but I (personally) can't think of a place I'd use it. I know that's a me-issue; not knocking testing. Hopefully, in your next video on testing, you do can walk us through some real world use cases. Keep up the good work! 👍
Testing us useful anywhere you have logic in your code. Literally anything in your code can be tested and you should definitley test the critical parts of your code
You just saved my life!! Thank you!!
Wow! you are super great, i was struggling searching for jest course. thank you for your video.
This is an awesome tutorial would want to see more testing tutorials
Thanks for this video. If you are thinking about continuing this series then I think tutorial on testing in React would be a great help for newbies ;)
Thank you for the info! This was really concise, and perfectly helped me figure out this stuff.
Man, thank you a lot, yours tutorials are incredible!! Congrats!!
Thank you!
he is teaching everything simple. AWESOME
i know this was posted a while ago.. but wow.
creating test made so easy..Huge thanks!!!!
Hey Kyle! I know it's a bit late to post a question/comment for this video(considering the date of publish for the video) nevertheless, I have been watching your tuts and coding videos and I genuinely enjoy watching your videos and learn a ton of new things and concepts. I particularly love the specific topics like regex, testing, solid principles etc that you cover, which frankly I didn't came across on most other coding pros' channels. I love these indepth programming topics by the way and hence, it automatically draws me to your channel every now and then. Main question I had was, "what could be the main difference between a normal software(app) testing and the full on Pentesting?".. Generally, I am aware of the definitions and the underlying principles but, I am quite assured that, your answer would defnitely shed some more light on the topics and help me go further in these topics. Thanks for everything, and love you!
Good clarity is maintained throughout the video
Thank you! Very clear and concise explanation! 💛
The explanation was clear and upto the point. Thank you so much for the video.
Watching in 2021 , The most useful tutorial , Thanks man!
Thanks Kyle, that was a nice start =)
Amazing job for beginners like me, thanks.

Thanks for sharing, Kyle
Dude, awesome! Thanks a lot. 💕💕
I was broken after they introduced this to me at bootcamp, but you helped explain it very clearly! Thank you.
At least they introduced it to you.. I’m a recent bootcamp grad currently job searching and getting back to these necessary fundamentals after realizing how ill prepared I am.

Very helpful, even though there's a lot more to know about JEST, it's a well rounded primer. Thank you!
Thanks man, this was very helpful :)
Thanks. So clear and understandable, really.
Helpful video. Please create more testing videos. In particular, snapshot-based testing would be of interest.
Thanks! really nice video!
