[nileshgulia1]

@catarak I was a bit busy working on anything else,sorry for not informing .

[shinytang6]

Would like to look into this issue:) l know something about Mocha and Jest. Which one should be used here?

[nileshgulia1]

Hey @shinytang6 , Go for it , the project uses react so it may be better to use jest+enzyme for writing tests . cheers :)

[catarak]

i'm not an expert at writing unit tests but i've heard that mocha is the most popular framework. what would be the advantage of using jest instead?

[nileshgulia1]

@catarak Jest provides some important features such as snapshot testing which makes it different from mocha. Yes mocha is also good and famous , but jest is used especially for react components for smoke testing(testing rendering of components independently)

I started working on adding unit tests before seeing this issue so apologies for not communicating it here beforehand.

Would love to know your feedback.
