Enzyme vs react-testing-library: What are the differences?
Enzyme: JavaScript Testing utilities for React, by Airbnb. Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse your React Components' output; react-testing-library: A lightweight solution for testing React components. It is a simple and complete React DOM testing utility that encourage good testing practices. It provides light utility functions on top of react-dom and react-dom/test-utils, in a way that encourages better testing practices.
Enzyme and react-testing-library are primarily classified as "Javascript Testing Framework" and "Testing Frameworks" tools respectively.
Enzyme and react-testing-library are both open source tools. Enzyme with 17.7K GitHub stars and 1.96K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than react-testing-library with 8.25K GitHub stars and 464 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Enzyme has a broader approval, being mentioned in 75 company stacks & 147 developers stacks; compared to react-testing-library, which is listed in 4 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
Postman will be used to do integration testing with the backend API we create. It offers a clean interface to create many requests, and you can even organize these requests into collections. It helps to test the backend API first to make sure it's working before using it in the front-end. Jest can also be used for testing and is already embedded into React. Not only does it offer unit testing support in javascript, it can also do snapshot testing for the front-end to make sure components are rendering correctly. Enzyme is complementary to Jest and offers more functions such as shallow rendering. UnitTest will be used for Python testing as it is simple, has a lot of functionality and already built in with python. Sentry will be used for keeping track of errors as it is also easily integratable with Heroku because they offer it as an add-on. LogDNA will be used for tracking logs which are not errors and is also a Heroku add-on. Its good to have a separate service to record logs, monitor, track and even fix errors in real-time so our application can run more smoothly.
Pros of Enzyme
Pros of react-testing-library
