To mock or not to mock?
It's a good question that not everyone knows the answer to when developing tests.
To answer that, you need to know the concepts around mocking, what fake data and fake interactions are, the pros and cons, etc.

What a nice video, I think it was a little painful to produce!

It was! Hahaha Rule of thumb is: You compare the interval between a video and the video posted before that one. If the interval is larger than 2 weeks, then you know it was painful to produce it haha

Dudeee, Great content really. I can't imagine the amount of effort that you and your team put in it, congraaaaaats 🎊 You had mention about continuous integration, a video about which tool you guys use would suit well. See ya

Thanks a ton! There's a lot to say in the topic of CI, but just to give you an overview: For CI orchestration, we mostly use Github Actions; For testing, static checks with ESLint and TypeScript, unit and integration tests with Jasmine, and E2E tests with Cypress. We are also playing around with Jest, so we might replace Jasmine with Jest. But so far, our recommendation is Jasmine. Hope that helps!
