E-Books →Svelte with Test–Driven Development

Key Features:Understand and master the test-driven development (TDD) workflowExplore the principles of unit testing with Vitest and end-to-end testing using Playwright and Cucumber.jsLeverage practical examples of unit tests covering a range of SvelteKit framework features
Book Description:
Svelte is a popular front-end framework used for its focus on performance and user-friendliness, and test-driven development (TDD) is a powerful approach that helps in creating automated tests before writing code. By combining them, you can create efficient, maintainable code for modern applications. Svelte with Test-Driven Development will help you learn effective automated testing practices to build and maintain Svelte applications.
In the first part of the book, you'll find a guided walkthrough on building a SvelteKit application using the TDD workflow. You'll uncover the main concepts for writing effective unit test cases and practical advice for developing solid, maintainable test suites that can speed up application development while remaining effective as the application evolves. In the next part of the book, you'll focus on refactoring and advanced test techniques, such as using component mocks and writing BDD-style tests with the Cucumber.js framework. In the final part of the book, you'll explore how to test complex application and framework features, including authentication, Svelte stores, and service workers.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to build test-driven Svelte applications by employing theoretical and practical knowledge.
What You Will Learn:Create clear and concise Vitest unit tests helping the implementation of Svelte componentsUse Playwright and Cucumber.js to develop end-to-end tests that simulate user interactions and test the functionality of your applicationLeverage component mocks to isolate and test individual componentsWrite unit tests for a range of Svelte framework featuresExplore effective refactoring techniques to keep your Svelte application code and test suites cleanBuild high-quality Svelte applications that are well-tested, performant, and resilient to changes
