Discussion on: Unit testing frontend code is (probably) useless

Sorry I'm on the phone and hit send too early, edited the comment before 😅 (and now checking your link)

Edit:
Yup, this client code is really short, it can probably avoid most logic that a usual webapp has plus with some more E2E (apart from those sanity checks I saw) you'll cover it entirely or mostly like it was BDD.

I think we can agree that it's not the case of an usual webApp in which you'll have logic about what someone can see depending on it's role/permissions, multiple user journeys depending on X or Y, sometimes A/B testing (being created in-house or by some third party tool), content based on user preferences and so on. (Some of those needs to be double-checked by the backend of course, but the double is not silent).

Avoid testing on this situations can become a mess quickly. And even if it doesn't, my experience says that you'll get a hard time with what HHRR people categorises as "retaining the talent" 😂

All of these, and more, is to be found in Magic ... ;)
