Simplify Testing with React Testing Library
By :

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework created by the team at Facebook. In this section, we will cover a brief overview of Jest and how we can use it to verify the output of test cases for React components.
Most React projects are tested with Jest, so it makes sense to introduce this tool alongside learning React Testing Library. When we write our tests using React Testing Library, we need a test runner to execute the test.
Use the following command to install Jest in your project:
npm install --save-dev jest
We will run our React tests using Jest. At a high level, Jest provides the describe
, it
, test
, and expect
functions to organize and execute tests. You can think of the describe
function as a test suite. Use the describe
function to group related tests for specific components. The it
and test
functions are for specific tests. The it
and test
functions are interchangeable functions used to house and run the code...
