Bonnes pratiques de test Jest pour les projets JavaScript et TypeScript avec mocking, gestion asynchrone et patterns React. Organisez les tests avec des noms descriptifs dans des blocs describe imbriqués, en utilisant des fichiers .test.ts / .test.js placés à côté du code source ou dans des répertoires __tests__. Mockez les dépendances externes avec jest.mock(), jest.spyOn() et mockImplementation(), en réinitialisant entre les tests pour éviter les fuites d'état. Gérez le code asynchrone avec les promesses, async/await et les matchers resolves / rejects ; définissez...

Test Structure

  • Name test files with .test.ts or .test.js suffix
  • Place test files next to the code they test or in a dedicated __tests__ directory
  • Use descriptive test names that explain the expected behavior
  • Use nested describe blocks to organize related tests
  • Follow the pattern: describe('Component/Function/Class', () => { it('should do something', () => {}) })

Effective Mocking

  • Mock external dependencies (APIs, databases, etc.) to isolate your tests
  • Use jest.mock() for module-level mocks
  • Use jest.spyOn() for specific function mocks
  • Use mockImplementation() or mockReturnValue() to define mock behavior
  • Reset mocks between tests with jest.resetAllMocks() in afterEach

Testing Async Code

  • Always return promises or use async/await syntax in tests
  • Use resolves/rejects matchers for promises
  • Set appropriate timeouts for slow tests with jest.setTimeout()

Snapshot Testing

  • Use snapshot tests for UI components or complex objects that change infrequently
  • Keep snapshots small and focused
  • Review snapshot changes carefully before committing

Testing React Components

  • Use React Testing Library over Enzyme for testing components
  • Test user behavior and component accessibility
  • Query elements by accessibility roles, labels, or text content
  • Use userEvent over fireEvent for more realistic user interactions

Common Jest Matchers

  • Basic: expect(value).toBe(expected), expect(value).toEqual(expected)
  • Truthiness: expect(value).toBeTruthy(), expect(value).toBeFalsy()
  • Numbers: expect(value).toBeGreaterThan(3), expect(value).toBeLessThanOrEqual(3)
  • Strings: expect(value).toMatch(/pattern/), expect(value).toContain('substring')
  • Arrays: expect(array).toContain(item), expect(array).toHaveLength(3)
  • Objects: expect(object).toHaveProperty('key', value)
  • Exceptions: expect(fn).toThrow(), expect(fn).toThrow(Error)
  • Mock functions: expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalled(), expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledWith(arg1, arg2)
