Integration Testing

Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Testing how frontend and backend pieces work together — a form component plus the API call it triggers, or an API route plus a real test database.

How to Learn This

  • 1Write a backend integration test that hits a real endpoint backed by a test database.
  • 2Write a frontend integration test that fills a form and asserts the resulting API call was made.
  • 3Notice these give more confidence than unit tests, at the cost of running slower.
