Our Verdict
This course excels as a basic introduction to Test Driven Development and key associated tools in NodeJS, Mocha, Chai, and Sinon. While catering well to beginners, it does make certain assumptions about programming knowledge that could present hurdles for some students. Sound quality detracts from the overall learning experience, and there is room for improvement when delving deeper into Sinon's functionality. The absence of varied unit tests and a non-functioning example API limit real-world applicability.
What We Liked
- Clear explanations of TDD concepts and hand-on exercises that help reinforce learning.
- Comprehensive introduction to Mocha, Chai, and Sinon—popular testing tools in NodeJS.
- Suited for beginners as it starts with the basics and gradually progresses.
- Incorporates real-life examples and exercises that teach TDD principles
Potential Drawbacks
- Sound quality can be improved, making lectures harder to follow at times.
- Assumption of prior programming knowledge may hinder complete understanding for novices.
- Course could benefit from a more detailed explanation of Sinon and its applications.
- Lack of varied unit tests and an example API not functioning affects real-world applicability.
