Benefits of Testing
Testing does …
➡ … help you focus on what’s important in the code
➡ … give you confidence that—if you change
something about the code—it still does the same
stuff it did before
Testing doesn’t …
➡ … prove that your code is “correct”
➡ … guarantee the absence of bugs.
Benefits of Testing
• Defensive driving doesn’t guarantee that you won’t
get in an accident.
• Wearing a seat belt doesn’t guarantee that you
won’t get hurt if you do have an accident.
That doesn’t mean you should not wear a seatbelt
or drive defensively.
“It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated
by all copy-books and by eminent people when
they are making speeches, that we should
cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are
doing. The precise opposite is the case.
Civilization advances by extending the number
of important operations which we can perform
without thinking about them. Operations of
thought are like cavalry charges in a battle —
they are strictly limited in number, they require
fresh horses, and must only be made at
decisive moments.”
–Alfred North Whitehead, An Introduction to Mathematics

Why testing React is easy
React apps are meant to be
predictable,

and consequently they are eminently
testable.
React components == 

mathematical functions
y = mx +b
where
m is the slope of the line,
x is the x-coordinate,
b is the y-intercept
React Components
• Hierarchical
• Encourage one-way data flow
• Ultimately, just Javascript functions
Even JSX is just functions
JSX is functions
const element = (
<h1 className="greeting">
Hello, world!
</h1>
);
const element = React.createElement(
'h1',
{className: 'greeting'},
'Hello, world!'
);

The real minimum
requirements
• Test Framework
• A DOM
• A test utility library that “speaks React”
An aside: It’s still React,
though
So, we’re going to need a few basic building blocks
in order to:
• Compile JSX
• Transpile ES6 (if you want to use it)
• Bundle the libraries with your code
• Include React and ReactDOM (duh)
Bare-bones React setup

Test Frameworks
Test Frameworks
• Jasmine - mature, built-in assertions and spies
• Jest - wrapper around Jasmine for React
• Tape - straightforward, traditional paradigm
• Ava - built-in ES2015, concurrent test running
• Mocha - modular, allows (requires) separate
assertion and spy libraries
How to decide? Just ask?

• Ava - built-in ES2015, concurrent test running
• Mocha
npm install —save-dev mocha #(or) jest
A little bait-and-switch
Mocha requires you to choose a separate assertion library
Assertion Libraries
• Assert - built into Node, just require/import
• Expect - basic BDD style, similar to Jasmine
• Should - uber BDD style, bleeding edge
• Chai - can mimic any of the three libraries
• Power-Assert - concentrates on “truthy” values
• UnitJS - similar to Chai

Options for a test DOM
• A real browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc)
• PhantomJS (a “headless” browser)
• JSDom
Real browsers or PhantomJS will require some “glue”
in the form of something like Karma.

npm install —save-dev jsdom
Helper Libraries
• React Test Utils - from Facebook, bare-bones
• React Shallow Testutils - some helper wrappers
• Enzyme - like jQuery, but for tests
• Sinon - spies, mocks, and stubs

One more thing… spies
Mocha doesn’t come with a mocking library, so to test
the behavior of functions thoroughly, you’ll need a
mocking library.
One more thing… spies
Sinon is the most popular mocking library for Mocha.
npm install —save-dev sinon
Where Do Tests Go?
In their own folder With the code they are testing
Enough setup…
Let’s run some tests!
The Example App
https://github.com/vjwilson/many-ways-to-test-react
The Example App
Ex1: ES5
• React.createClass (ES5) style components
• Webpack/Babel compiles JSX to a static bundle
• Live Server serves and auto-refreshes the page
• No tests yet (Test-During Development)
Ex1: The App component
var App = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function() {
return {
castMembers: this.props.initialCastMembers,
user: this.props.initialUser
};
},
loginAction: function() {
this.setState({ user: this.props.initialUser });;
},
logoutAction: function() {
this.setState({ user: null });;
},
ex1-react-es5/src/App.js (excerpt)
Ex1: App (cont.)
render: function() {
return (
<div className="container">
<Header user={this.state.user} login={this.loginAction}

logout={this.logoutAction} />
<Jumbotron />
<div className="panel panel-default">
<div className="panel-heading">
<h2 className="panel-title">Top-Billed Cast</h2>
</div>
<div className="panel-body">
<CastMemberList members = {this.state.castMembers} />
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
});
Ex2: Mocha and 

React Test Utils
• Mocha test framework
• JSDom
• React Test Utils (and a little Shallow Tests Utils)
• Chai’s expect function
• Sinon for function spies

React Test Utils
• Replaces ReactDOM
• Can renderIntoDocument() or “shallow render”
• Functions to find rendered nodes (e.g.):
• scryRenderedDOMComponentsWithClass()
• findRenderedDOMComponentWithClass()
• Simulate() to fire DOM events
• Function to test nodes (e.g.):
• isElementOfType()
• isCompositeComponentWithType()

99 Problems with React Test Utils
• Limited API
• Verbose function names
• Too subtle and obtuse
• What is scrying, anyway?
• Brittle and hard to pinpoint elements
• var loginBlock =

output.props.children.props.children[1]

.props.children[2].props.children;

// Wut?
Shallow Test Utils
// other imports…
var ShallowTestUtils = require('react-shallow-testutils');
var Header= require(‘../src/Header');
// other tests…
it('should render a nav with username and logout link if user

logged in', () => {
props.user = user;
var output = setup(props);
var navbarText = ShallowTestUtils.findWithClass(output, 

'navbar-text');
var navbarLink = ShallowTestUtils.findWithClass(output,

'navbar-link');
expect(navbarText.props.children).to.equal('Welcome,

' + user.username);
expect(navbarLink.props.children).to.equal('Logout');
});
ex2-mocha-react-test-utils/test/Header.test.js (excerpt)
Enzyme
• Extends React Test Utils
• Can render a React DOM, shallow-render in
element, or render the final HTML DOM
• Has a ton of jQuery-like selectors and helpers
• <renderedOutput>.find(selector)
• <renderedOutput>.findWhere(fn)
• <renderedOutput>.text()
• <renderedOutput>..prop(key)
• and many, many more…

    Benefits of Testing Testingdoes … ➡ … help you focus on what’s important in the code ➡ … give you confidence that—if you change something about the code—it still does the same stuff it did before Testing doesn’t … ➡ … prove that your code is “correct” ➡ … guarantee the absence of bugs.

    Benefits of Testing •Defensive driving doesn’t guarantee that you won’t get in an accident. • Wearing a seat belt doesn’t guarantee that you won’t get hurt if you do have an accident. That doesn’t mean you should not wear a seatbelt or drive defensively.

    “It is aprofoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.” –Alfred North Whitehead, An Introduction to Mathematics
