TestJS Summit

TestJS Summit 2023

The Talk discusses the differences between Cypress component testing and React Testing Library (RTL). It highlights the benefits of using Cypress Component Testing, such as easier handling of complex components and a more stable testing experience in CI. The comparison between SignOn and Jest focuses on low-level spying and mocking capabilities. The comparison between Cypress Intercept and Mock Service Worker (MSW) examines their network spy and mocking capabilities. The Talk also emphasizes the superior developer experience and observability provided by Cypress component testing compared to RTL.

CCT vs RTL talks about the similarities between the tools, the differences, compares the ways of doing the same things with the tools, and finally gives a developer experience comparison demo.

Cypress Component Testing vs React Testing Library

TestJS Summit 2022

Cypress component test-driven design can take front-end engineers to the next level by covering TDD examples, component testing, endpoint testing, and recommended best practices. The TDD flow involves starting with failing tests, making them work, and then improving them. Component tests can be written incrementally, using custom wrappers and props. The differences between React Testing Library and Cypress Component Test lie in the API style. Code coverage can be achieved with Cypress component tests, and the Pack.js Cypress Adapter can be used to avoid test duplication between the backend and frontend.

The first part of the talk will focus on a variety of patterns when using Cypress Component Testing and TDD to create React components. The code samples will be from Angular's Tour of Heroes to make the content relatable to a wider community. Currently I am working on a GitBook rewriting it in React using Cypress Component Tests, there should be plenty of content to distill into the talk.The second part of the talk will focus on test strategies, types of testing and where to apply them, and finally compare &amp; contrast them to the familiar industry approaches.We will finish with key takeaways, sample application repos to help with learning, and rollout strategies.
