Angular Testing: Do I Really Have to Do It?!
summary
A pragmatic walkthrough of Angular testing using Karma, Jasmine and Protractor: a demo project shows running ng test with over 90 unit specs, covers building stubs and spies, using TestBed and fixture.detectChanges to exercise templates and DI, and handling async with fakeAsync/tick. It highlights common pitfalls (e.g. forgetting done leading to false green tests), advises keeping dependencies minimal and using controlled environments, and shows integrating coverage into CI so the test suite runs green after fixes.
