Workshop material for Angular: Unit testing techniques.
The Angular Unit Testing Workshop is designed to equip developers with the essential skills and techniques needed for unit testing Angular applications. With the objective of delivering a high-quality, well-tested dashboard for tracking prominent hackers, the workshop guides participants through the intricacies of Angular's testing framework. As part of the learning experience, attendees will work hands-on with tools like Jasmine and utilize features like mocks and spies to write effective unit tests.
The workshop is structured to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, allowing developers to build a deeper understanding of unit testing principles while applying them in real-world scenarios. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid grasp of the testing lifecycle and be able to implement unit tests confidently in their Angular projects.
Comprehensive Curriculum: The workshop covers all essential aspects of unit testing in Angular, from setup to execution, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience.
Hands-On Exercises: Participants engage in practical exercises which involve writing and running unit tests, reinforcing their understanding through real-world applications.
Use of Industry Tools: The workshop incorporates popular tools and frameworks like Jasmine, which enhance the testing process and improve code reliability.
Version Control Integration: Participants learn how to manage their testing projects efficiently using Git, with instructions on forking repositories and creating branches.
Project Configuration Guidance: Clear steps for setting up the project environment are provided, making it easy even for those new to Angular or unit testing.
Test-Driven Development (TDD) Approach: Emphasizes the importance of writing tests first to clarify code functionality and catch errors early in the development process.
Mocking and Spies: Teaches techniques for using spies and mocks to isolate the code being tested, enabling more focused and effective unit tests.
Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source framework by Google for building dynamic single-page applications and cross-platform mobile apps with MVC architecture and a rich set of features.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
