In the latest episode of Test Automation Experience, hosted by Nikolay Advolodkin, we had the pleasure of delving into testing React using React Testing Library with Daniel Afonso. The conversation covered the transition from traditional testing approaches to the adoption of the React Testing Library, a shift that introduced speed and a new focus on user perspective. Daniel shared his personal journey of migrating tests, which led to the scrubbing of superfluous tests and a newfound appreciation for quality assurance as part of the development pipeline.

The episode includes a hands-on demonstration where Daniel troubleshoots a real-time React test setup while emphasizing the principles of the testing library—avoiding implementation details and ensuring accessibility for all users. With topics ranging from firing events to harnessing asynchronous utilities, the podcast provides valuable takeaways for any developer looking to refine their testing skills.

Daniel also touches on his React Testing Library course offered on egghead IO, promising a concise yet comprehensive guide through a series of 22 lessons in just 25 minutes. Check out his course linked below for a deeper understanding of rendering, querying, and event firing, aiming to bolster both efficiency and quality in testing practices!
