Technical requirements

We will need the following tools and services in this chapter:

• Visual Studio 2019: We'll use this to write tests for our ASP.NET Core code backend. This can be downloaded and installed from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/.
• .NET 5: This can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0.
• Visual Studio Code: We'll use this to implement tests on our React code. This can be downloaded and installed from https://code.visualstudio.com/.
• Node.js and npm: These can be downloaded from https://nodejs.org/. If you already have these installed, make sure that Node.js is at least version 8.2 and that npm is at least version 5.2.
• Q and A: We'll start with the QandA frontend project that is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ASP.NET-Core-5-and-React-Second-Edition in the chapter-13/start folder.
