Zach's Talk:

Testing React: a deep dive on frameworks and patterns

Cypress? Enzyme? react-testing-library? Kent C. Dodds? There are many ways to write tests for React components and applications, from simple unit tests to advanced integration tests — and just as many opinions about how you should structure your tests. In this talk, we’ll survey the landscape of popular testing frameworks, discuss benefits and tradeoffs, and talk through some best practices for comprehensively testing your React application.
