Testing Basics

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

Angular supports Jasmine and Karma for unit testing.

typescript
// app.component.spec.ts
import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

describe('AppComponent', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [AppComponent]
    }).compileComponents();
  });
  
  it('should create the app', () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.componentInstance;
    expect(app).toBeTruthy();
  });
  
  it('should have title "my-app"', () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.componentInstance;
    expect(app.title).toEqual('my-app');
  });
  
  it('should render title', () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const compiled = fixture.nativeElement;
    expect(compiled.querySelector('h1').textContent)
      .toContain('my-app');
  });
});

// Run tests: ng test
You should see
(Running the tests will verify the component's behavior and show pass/fail results)
