Enterprise React Development with UmiJS

By: Douglas Alves Venancio

Overview of this book

UmiJS is the Ant Group's underlying frontend development framework, an open source project for developing enterprise-class frontend applications. In this book, you'll get hands-on with single-page application development using UmiJS. By following practical step-by-step examples, you'll develop essential skills to build and publish your apps and create a modern user experience with responsive interfaces. This book will help you learn the essential features of UmiJS and how to set up and build a project from scratch using React, Less, and TypeScript. You'll study Ant Design, a framework based on solid design concepts that provides a series of React components to accelerate interface development. Along the way, you'll see how to make requests and develop the frontend using simulated data while ensuring that your app has a high level of security and feedback. You'll also discover ways to improve your code quality and readability using formatting tools. By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to use UmiJS to design user interfaces, as well as compile, test, and package your app locally, and deliver your app by deploying it to online services.

Chapter 6: Testing Front-End Applications

Testing software is an essential part of software development. We can prevent errors and ensure that new features don't introduce bugs by implementing well-designed tests.

In this chapter, you'll understand software testing by learning how to design integration and end-to-end tests and apply them in the development process. After that, you'll learn how to write tests using Jest, a JavaScript test framework focused on simplicity that works well with React. You'll also learn how to test interfaces by simulating user actions with Puppeteer and Headless Chrome.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding software testing
  • Writing tests with Jest
  • Testing interfaces with Puppeteer

By the end of this chapter, you'll have learned how to design integration and end-to-end tests and how to apply them to improve software quality. You'll have learned how to write tests...
