I will reveal the lessons I learned while discovering how to test React components using Jest and Enzyme, an open source testing framework built specifically for use with React. This talk will be centered around my personal experience of building one of the applications for the Red Hat Marketplace, an open cloud marketplace. I will reveal tips on how to enhance your applications by ensuring it’s bug free using the best features of Enzyme.
