About the Course
Mastering JavaScript Unit Testing is designed to equip you with the skills to write maintainable, robust, and valuable unit tests for your JavaScript applications. Whether you're new to unit testing or looking to refine your skills, this course will guide you through the fundamentals and best practices of unit testing, helping you ensure your code is reliable and easy to maintain.
You’ll explore core techniques like positive, negative, and boundary testing to ensure comprehensive test coverage. You’ll also learn how to use mocks to isolate code, create parameterized tests for versatile scenarios, and evaluate code coverage to make sure nothing is missed. Beyond testing, this course will show you how to improve overall code quality using static analysis tools like ESLint and Prettier, prevent type errors with TypeScript, and automate quality checks with Husky.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to create high-quality, well-tested JavaScript code that stands up in production.

Frequently-asked Questions
Does this course cover testing React apps?
No, this course primarily focuses on foundational unit testing principles and best practices that are often overlooked and miss from other courses. I believe that mastering these fundamentals is essential before diving into testing React apps. I'm actively developing a separate course dedicated to testing React apps, which will cover advanced techniques like testing components, forms, authentication, state management, and routing. Completing 'Mastering JavaScript Unit Testing' will set you up for success in my upcoming React testing course.
Will I get 'Testing React Apps' for free if I enroll in this course?
Unfortunately not! That's an entirely separate course that you need to purchase if you're interested. You may also consider buying a subscription to get access to all the courses in the library.
Does this course use Jest?
In this course, we'll use Vitest, which is a better alternative to Jest as it's built from the ground up for modern JavaScript apps. All the concepts you'll learn in this course will directly transfer to Jest.

What my students say
“I started learning programming w/ Mosh 4 years ago with his C# & .NET courses. Thanks to those I landed my first job. Then, I continued to learn from his materials and made the jump from Jr. to Ssr. and then to Sr. Software Engineer (my salary went 10x from my first job). Now, 4 years later I continue to learn with his excellent courses.”
“Mosh doesn't fail to leave out important details. You can tell that Mosh has put a lot of thought into creating these courses. His professional and personal experience drives these courses to be thoughtful and outstanding.”
“The best courses I’ve participated so far. Mosh has a unique teaching ability. His lectures are fun and engaging. The visuals are great. Relatively dificult concepts are explained with simple words. Whenever any one asks for a programming course I recommend Mosh Hamedani, and only him. Other courses I’ve had were at best mediocre.”
“I love how every part of the course is broken down very well that even beginners can understand it and not feel overwhelmed, confused or carried away. Also how the lessons/course is in sections, one can go back to a particular section for review if need be especially when working on the exercises.”
“I found this course to be complete and very clear and easy to follow. Mosh is very good at explaining, it feels like a friend talking to you very naturally, and the course is very entertaining. And it comes at an amazing value! I definitely recommend it!”
“This is my second course from Mosh and it is great as well, The way he explains little details (how and why's) is very helpful and builds a solid base of understanding the code. Great instructor!”
