Date: 26th June 2019
Time: 18:30 - 20:30
This month is a testing extravaganza with talks from Colin Wren talking about testing Kafka and Daniel Irvine talking about doing test driven development with React.
We'll also be giving away 2 codes for a year subscription for a Jetbrains toolbox product of your choice!
Please note: LeedsJS is intended for people looking to expand their knowledge and meet the community. While recruiters are welcome to come and learn, we operate a strict no active recruitment policy, outside of the job pitches at the start of the event.
Talks
Testing Kafka with Jest and NodeJS
Speaker: Colin Wren
Having spent the last 6 months testing a Kafka based application, Colin gives a short introduction to what Kafka is, how it’s used and shares his experience of writing an end-to-end test framework using Jest and NodeJS.
Testing React with the 'act' function
Speaker: Daniel Irvine
React 16.8 introduced a new 'act' function that helps with testing side effects and asynchronous effects in React components. However, that first release only supported some use cases. The upcoming React 16.9 release, currently available as an alpha release, includes an updated version of 'act' that covers more use cases. In this talk I'll explore how you can use it to improve your test suites.
