Shallow Rendering All The Way Down
summary
Claims that React 0.13 brings shallow rendering so tests run far faster than using JSDom, demos using the Airbnb enzyme API to query output, props, handlers and internal state, and inspects most lifecycle effects. Shows that nested components remain opaque (only their type is visible) so each child needs its own test, and that componentDidMount cannot be exercised.
