Code&Cannoli Meetup: Testing in React

Hi all!

Our next meetup will be about testing the frontend framework React.

Food is included! So be sure to keep your belly empty before attending.

18.30: Diner

19.00: Norbert de Lange - Owner Storybooks - Writing better components using Storybook

In order to check the quality of your product you have to iterate and try your product out. What is a better way than doing this automatically? We will discuss Storybooks as testing environment maintained by Norbert de Langen. Who can show you the capabilities of this framework better than the owner himself! He will talk about how we can write better components using Storybook.

19:45 Small break

20:00 Gert Hengeveld - Senior Software consultant - Making most out of React testing

Now that the front-end application is often more complex than the back-end, properly verifying their correctness before deploying an update is very important. Unfortunately testing can take a considerable amount of time and tests can quickly become an unmaintainable mess. Let’s see what testing React applications looks like in practice, focusing on pragmatic solutions with a high return on investment. In this talk Gert will cover three types of React application testing and discuss how to make the most out of them.

Finally we will have plenty of room for some food, beers (also non-alcoholic beverages) and fussball.
