Testing

📄️ Unit testing

Unit tests are written in JavaScript using Jest. If you want to create a new one, Jest is already configured and you only need to create a file ending with .test.ts within the project. If you're going to do so, remember to follow the file location conventions.

📄️ Acceptance testing

In order to run tests that carry out automated functionality testing for the Moodle App, you can write Acceptance tests. This can be useful if you want to test plugins that are compatible with the app, or you're contributing to the app core. Behat tests for the app work the same way as tests for Moodle core, but they are not run as part of a normal Behat execution and there are some differences that we'll go through in this page.

📄️ Continuous Integration

Tests can be useful during development, but a good test suite really shines with CI processes in place. Running tests and other checks on a regular basis can be helpful to maintain good quality assurance, and catch regressions as early as possible.
