" summary

Claim: testing succeeds when principles beat tool arguments. Shows a small Messenger‑like app, writes unit, integration and higher‑level tests with Enzyme and react‑testing‑library, mocks an API via dependency injection, and proves a test that breaks when Redux is removed reveals white‑box coupling. Warns that render without crashing tests and chasing 90% code coverage are vanity moves, adds Lighthouse in CI for performance signals, and demonstrates how tests behave during refactoring.
