Overview

Just like its predecessor, Angular 1, Angular has been designed with testability as a primary goal.

When we talk about testing in Angular we are usually talking about two different types of testing:

Unit Testing

This is sometimes also called Isolated testing. It’s the practice of testing small isolated pieces of code. If your test uses some external resource, like the network or a database, it’s not a unit test.

Functional Testing

This is defined as the testing of the complete functionality of an application. In practice with web apps, this means interacting with your application as it’s running in a browser just like a user would interact with it in real life, i.e. via clicks on a page.

This is also called End to End or E2E testing.

Important

In this section we are only going to cover how to perform unit testing with Angular.

You will learn:

  • How to write and run tests in Angular using Jasmine & Karma.

  • How to write tests for classes, components, directives and pipes.

  • How to use the Angular Test Bed to help test behaviours that depend on the Angular framework.

  • How to write tests using mocks and spies.

  • How to write tests that depend on change detection.

  • How to write tests that involve an asynchronous action.

  • How to write tests that require the dependency injection framework.

  • How to write tests that involve the Http service.

  • How to write tests that involve model-driven forms (template-driven forms require E2E testing).

  • How to write tests to test the Router.
