Book Description:

Do you want to learn how to build robust, reliable, and impressive Angular applications? If yes, then Angular test-driven development is for you!

Mastering Angular Test-Driven Development is a comprehensive guide that provides you with essential resources to enhance your skills and deliver high-quality Angular applications. With a practical approach and real-world examples, the book extensively covers TDD concepts, techniques, and tools, going beyond unit testing to explore testing Angular pipes, forms, and reactive programming.

In this book, you’ll learn how to validate and manipulate data using pipes, test Angular forms for input validation and user interactions, and handle asynchronous operations with reactive programming. Additionally, you’ll discover end-to-end testing using Protractor, Cypress, and Playwright frameworks, gaining valuable insights into writing robust tests for web applications, navigation, element interaction, and behavior validation. You’ll also understand how to integrate TDD with CI/CD, learning best practices for automating tests, deploying Angular applications, and achieving faster feedback loops.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to successfully implement TDD in your Angular projects with the help of practical examples, best practices, and clear explanations.

What You Will Learn:

- Explore the fundamentals of TDD in Angular

- Set up your development environment with Jasmine and Karma for effective unit testing

- Discover advanced techniques for mocking and stubbing dependencies to isolate and test code units

- Test Angular pipes, forms, and reactive programming for data validation and asynchronous operations

- Understand end-to-end testing using Protractor, Cypress, and Playwright to validate application behavior

- Get up to speed with best practices for automating tests and achieving faster feedback loops
