Angular Component Testing Best Practices | Jordan Powell | ng-conf webinar

Learn best practices for testing Angular components with Cypress, a popular end-to-end testing framework, and discover how to isolate, interact with, and validate your components in this ng-conf webinar.

Key takeaways
  • Cypress is an end-to-end test automation suite that is used to test Angular components.
  • When testing a component, it’s important to test it in isolation to ensure that it behaves correctly.
  • Cypress provides a way to test components in isolation by using its mount function, which sets up a fake DOM and allows the component to be tested independently.
  • The mount function can be configured to provide additional functionality, such as importing modules and providers.
  • Cypress provides a way to interact with components, such as typing in input fields and clicking buttons.
  • Cypress also provides a way to validate the behavior of components, such as checking that a button is being clicked and that a response is being emitted.
  • Cypress is supported by a number of frameworks, including React, Angular, Vue, and Svelte.
  • Cypress provides a way to test components in a real-world environment, by running tests in a browser.
  • Cypress is widely used in the industry and has a large community of developers who contribute to its development and provide support.
  • Cypress provides a number of features, including automatic waiting for requests, automatic screenshot generation, and automatic video recording.
  • Cypress provides a way to customize its behavior, such as by using custom mount configurations.
  • Cypress provides a way to test components in a variety of environments, including desktop and mobile devices.
  • Cypress is widely used in large-scale applications and is considered to be one of the most popular testing frameworks in the industry.
