Our Verdict
The Nodejs Express - unit testing/integration tests with Jest course provides students an essential learning opportunity. With updated content embracing current technologies like MongoDB Atlas and comprehensive hands-on exercises; Rakeem Mills manages to cover the basics of TDD in an engaging way despite minor inconveniences, such as a less detailed mLab setup. Moreover, this course encourages learners to continue exploring jest and mocking techniques beyond the lessons, offering valuable insights within its concise scope.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive overview of TDD and unit testing for Nodejs beginners
- Real-world application development with emphasis on building a foundation & understanding the bigger picture
- Covers essential Jest features for test-driven development while utilizing MongoDB Atlas in updated lessons
- Practical, hands-on examples and short video lessons ensure easy-to-follow experience
Potential Drawbacks
- Lack of depth in some topics (such as mLab/MongoDB Atlas setup) leaves room for more detailed explanations
- Course material may not fully cover specific jest methods and properties, but serves as a solid starting point
- Occasional abrupt cuts could be smoother; however, the majority of lessons are coherent and complete
