Writing Unit Tests for Angular Components

---

Background

• frontend dev
• experience in unit testing in Java and JavaScript (but not in Angular)
• first own project, starting from scratch

---

Motivation for this presentation

• error messages hard to understand at first -> give you a headstart
• understand it better myself

---

Tips

• test right from the start
• have tests running while developing
• continuous integration
• ask yourself repeatedly: what do I actually want to test?
• isolate - mock away as much as possible
• practice
