Today we are excited to announce the most recent addition to our course series!
Learn Testing is a brand-new course written by
Sam Thorogood, a former startup CTO and ex-Google
engineer who understands the challenges of building robust applications. The new
course will teach you everything you need to know about testing web
applications, with focus on test automation. You will learn about the various
test types, testing environments, what is actually worth testing, up to writing
your own component tests.
Research has shown,
developers still spend a lot of their time running manual tests. Often because
setting up proper tests is seen as cumbersome and difficult. But in most cases,
writing tests is worth the effort and can save you time in the long run! With
the launch of the first chapters of this new course and the ones following over
the next couple of months, we hope to encourage more developers to take the
plunge and start adding tests to their projects.
As with all the other courses on web.dev, like Learn HTML, Learn
Performance, or Learn Accessibility you don’t need to work through the course
chapter by chapter. It also neatly works as a reference that you can share with
your colleagues whenever you touch on testing.
As soon as you are ready, feel free to dive into Learn Testing! Let us know what
you think and what you are looking for in upcoming chapters, either by
