Talk Description
UI components are now the building blocks of almost any web software. And testing the cornerstone of good software development. And yet, it seems we do not test our components well enough.
Luckily, we start to get many options, some of which are really exciting for testing components.
In this talk, I will review the different options we have for testing components. We will discuss the required setup for setting up components for testing.
We will go over tips on making tests stable, fast, and reliable. And above all - we will look at the tooling options we have for testing components.
