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.

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.
