Hi, I'm a developer with three year of experience. I am trained in Java/J2e but I am mostly a Javascript/Typescript lover <3 currently working in GIS, with ReactJS and LeafletJS
Thanks I quite agree with you.
In my current job, I often am the only dev front-end, with no QA (what's this ?? not sure that my manager even know the term) so I have learned to appreciate a lot TDD and testing.
But while I am getting better at unit testing, I still have a lot of difficulties understanding the methodologies, like how to correctly use mocks, or the functional and e2e tests. It really is a whole part of the job, I just don't have the time and ressources currently to learn it (and of course, no one to learn it from) so I am sticking to unit testing, for the moment, until I can learn more.
If someone has good ressources on the subject, I would thank you for it
The best way to learn (IMHO) is to work with others who REALLY know how to do it. I had been doing what I thought was TDD for 5 years before I joined a TDD consultancy. I was lucky to have colleagues who helped me improve. So if you get the opportunity to pair with experienced TDDists then I suggest you take it. You’ll learn so much. One way may be to join a local coding dojo meetup or software crafter meetup if you can find one (see softwarecrafters.org).
Since you’re a front-end dev, you might also be interested in my book, Mastering React Test-Driven Development. It covers unit testing and also acceptance testing with Cucumber and Puppeteer.

Thanks a lot :)
I probably will buy your book (today, before Brexit XD) It seems exactly what I need thanks. At it probably will help in my company
