Phase 13 · Testing the Full Stack
TopicsIntegration 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.
