Introducing Test-Driven Development with React

Welcome to a chapter that could potentially revolutionize your approach to React development – test-driven development (or TDD for short). If you’ve been building React applications, you know how complex and intricate they can get. With various states to manage, components to juggle, and user interactions to facilitate, ensuring the reliability of your code base can be challenging. That’s where TDD comes in.

In the ever-changing landscape of software development, where features are continuously added or modified, TDD serves as a lighthouse that guides you safely through the rough seas of bugs and regressions. By writing tests before your actual code, you not only confirm that your code does what it’s supposed to, but you also create a safety net that makes future changes less risky.

This chapter aims to deepen your understanding of TDD and how to implement it effectively in React applications. We’...
