Signals as lightweight "reactive primitive" will shape the future of Angular applications.
Especially with Signal Inputs, Signals find more and more usage in everyday tasks. It is time to consider integrating Signals into our codebases.
And that requires us to be able to write tests as well.
This article explains how to use the `RouterTestingHarness` to write sound tests where we don't have to mock anything from the Router.
If you prefer the kind of tests that minimize mocking as much as possible, you will be pretty happy with Standalone Components. Gone are the struggles of meticulously picking dependencies from NgModules for your Component under test.
Standalone Components come self-contained. Add them to your TestingModule's `imports` property, and all their "visual elements" – Components, Directives, Pipes, and dependencies – become part of the test. As a nice side-effect, you reach a much higher code coverage.
In this article, I want to share the 5 basic pillars I believe a successful programming course should build upon.
In this posting I show how to ignore code generated by Lombok in the upcoming version of Jacoco 0.7.10.
This posting emphasizes the often unnoticed speed improvement in development by applying Test-Driven Development correctly.
