Testable. Gamified tool to teach unit tests in javascript

Details

Testing has always been a subject of attention. Nowadays modern libraries come with their own test suite, usually a unit test suite. Therefore, enterprise developers and students might have the perception that testing is a boring task.

Testable, is a web-based application built with reactjs to teach unit test teaching for professional developers and students that uses gamification as a teaching strategy approach.

In this scenario, the talk presents the challenges faced during the development phase such as:

Why javascript in the first place?
Understanding javascript code with AST
Front end patterns used
Tracking system and animations
As well as the gamification part of it, should we use gamification an alternative strategy?
