Writing high confidence frontend tests

Brief Description
In this session we are going to explore writing tests for your UI keeping in mind the end users using testing-library. In popular libraries such as enzyme we end up most of the times, testing the implementation details of the code, but in these tests we only intend to check the final output that gets rendered in UI.

Does any of these sentences sound familiar ?

• My tests give my false positives
• My tests break a lot even for small refractors/changes
• We have bugs inspite of having heavy unit tests code coverage.
• My tests don’t give me enough confidence to deploy regularly

Join me for finding an effective way of writing tests to avoid above scenarios.
