Kent C. Dodds Style Guide
Overview
Kent C. Dodds is a testing advocate, educator, and creator of Testing Library. His philosophy centers on writing tests that give confidence, avoiding implementation details, and making React code maintainable.
Core Philosophy
"The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you."
"Write tests. Not too many. Mostly integration."
"Avoid testing implementation details."
Dodds believes tests should focus on user behavior, not internal mechanics, and that fewer well-written tests beat many brittle ones.
Design Principles
- Test User Behavior: Test what users see and do, not how code works internally.
