In current (web) development, automated testing is a crucial notion.

Many developers, though, find the idea scary at first and don’t want to test their projects or add tests to them.

This course will show you how to use JavaScript to automate unit and integration testing from the bottom up.

You’ll learn about the tools and configuration needed to develop automated tests, and you’ll get to work on several sample projects as part of the class. You won’t get trapped in theory since this is a hands-on, practical course; instead, you’ll be able to learn all the major principles via real-life situations.

Vitesse will be the primary testing library and tool in this course. It’s a contemporary JavaScript test runner and assertion framework that’s compatible with Jest. As a result, anything you learn in this course will be useful whether you’re working with Vitesse or Jest. And the main ideas will apply regardless of any testing environment you choose!

This course does not cover certain sorts of JavaScript projects, nor does it cover any particular library or framework.

Instead, you’ll learn how to test your (vanilla) JavaScript code automatically, regardless of whether it’s for a NodeJS or frontend project. The basics you’ll learn in this course will help you with both backend (NodeJS) and frontend (vanilla JS, React, Vue, Angular) projects in the future.

This course will provide you with a rock-solid basis on which to construct your JavaScript applications, allowing you to start implementing tests right away.
