Jest Unit Tests

Jest is an open-source JavaScript testing framework built by Facebook on JavaScript. Initially, It was designed for testing to React and React Native-based web applications, but now it can be used for testing apps based on Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular, Vue, and a lot more. Here, we will learn about different patterns of testing JS code in frontend and backend applications like Snapshot testing, Asynchronous Testing, Mocking, Spying, We will also learn how to write tests for scalable JS-based Apps in express, angular, react, redux, react native, etc.
Getting Started with Jest
In this Blog, we will start to learn Jest, a unit testing framework of JavaScript; we also understand why we should use Jest and the advantages.
Writing your first Unit Test with Jest
In this blog, we will understand some of the basic syntaxes of the jest framework and write our first unit test using jest with the help of examples.
Skipping a Test with Jest
In this blog, we will discuss how to skip test cases in jest. We will also see how to run specific tests in jest.
Setup and Scoping in Jest
Performing jest tests often requires some setup and finishing work. This blog will introduce you to the setup and scope of tests in the jest framework.
Jest Configuration
This blog will introduce how to configure Jest, we will also see some example configurations.
Debugging in Jest
This blog will introduce how to debug a failed test and how to set up and run the debugger in VS code using Jest.
Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development in Jest
Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development are two principal development methodologies among programmers. In this blog, we will understand both the methods of development and learn their usage in Jest.
Using Matchers
Matchers are used to testing values and results in different ways while using jest. This blog will introduce you to some standard matchers and their usage in jest.
Mocking in Jest MEDIUM
There are two ways to mock functions: creating a mock function in test code or writing a manual mock to override a module dependency.

The following blog will give you a description of what snapshot testing is and how it can be helpful to the project.
Timer Mocks
This blog will introduce you to mocking timer functions in Jest, how to create fake timers, run pending timers, run all timers, etc.
Manual Mocks
While performing tests in jest, we use manual mocks to replicate the functionality with mock data. This blog will introduce you to the use and working of manual mocks in jest.
Jest Mock Classes
ES6 classes imported into the test file can be mocked in jest using mock functions. This blog will introduce you to different mocking classes in jest with examples.
The Jest Object
In this article, we will go through the purpose of jest objects and their usage in web testing. We will also study a few API methods available with the help of examples.
React Test Renderer
React Test Renderer is a package that makes it easy to perform Snapshot testing in javascript. This blog will let to know more about Snapshot testing using React Test Renderer.
Jest Platform
In this blog, we will discuss the various packages provided by Jest Platform. These are exclusive packages that can be imported via the require function.
