Tiivistelmä
There is an enormous amount of various testing patterns, and tools for testing React applications. Each of them is intended for specific purposes and has its concept and philosophy beyond. Such abundance gives good flexibility for developers; however, it also shifts the responsibility for the right decision for themself. A mistakenly picked testing pattern can cause harm down the road.
The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive comparison of different approaches to testing React components, analyse the advantages and disadvantages of each and try to find the balanced testing recipe for medium and large size React applications. Moreover, based on the research and development experience, identify the deficiencies in the testing patterns of the study case React application and provide options for improving it.
The study results show the importance of choosing the correct testing tools and pattern for a specific React application and business needs and describe the wrong choice's consequences.
