Is this course for me?

If you're writing React in any capacity, this course if for you! This course assumes a base level understanding of React, but whether you're working on small React side projects or full React applications at the day job, you'll learn how to test a variety of React components.

No prior knowledge of testing or React specific testing is required; we'll start from scratch and build up our testing knowledge over this set of ten videos.

Along with how-tos we'll also talk about characteristics of well written tests and how to avoid common pitfalls when writing tests.

What will I learn?
