Common Test Patterns Used

1. Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)

it('test description', () => {
  // Arrange - Set up test data
  const input = createTestData();

  // Act - Execute the code being tested
  const result = functionUnderTest(input);

  // Assert - Verify the result
  expect(result).toBe(expectedValue);
});

2. Mocking External Dependencies

jest.mock('../path/to/dependency', () => ({
  dependency: {
    method: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(mockedValue),
  },
}));

3. React Component Testing

it('should render component', () => {
  render(<Component prop="value" />);
  const element = screen.getByTestId('test-id');
  expect(element).toBeInTheDocument();
});

4. Edge Case Testing

it('should handle edge case', () => {
  // Test with boundary values, empty arrays, null, etc.
  expect(functionUnderTest(null)).toBe(expectedValue);
  expect(functionUnderTest([])).toBe(expectedValue);
  expect(functionUnderTest(Number.MAX_VALUE)).toBe(expectedValue);
});

Troubleshooting

Test Fails - "Cannot find module"

# Clear Jest cache
npm test -- --clearCache
npm test -- tests/path/to/test.ts

Snapshot Test Fails

# Update snapshots if changes are intentional
npm test -- -u tests/path/to/test.tsx

Timeout Errors

# Increase timeout for specific tests
npm test -- --testTimeout=10000

---

Best Practices Used

1. ✅ Descriptive Test Names - Names describe what is being tested
2. ✅ Single Responsibility - Each test verifies one behavior
3. ✅ No Test Interdependencies - Tests can run in any order
4. ✅ Proper Mocking - External dependencies are isolated
5. ✅ Accessibility Testing - ARIA and keyboard navigation included
6. ✅ Edge Cases - Boundary conditions and error scenarios covered
7. ✅ Performance Testing - Efficiency validated
8. ✅ Documentation - Comments explain complex test logic
