In this video we are going to make an introduction to our React.js Testing Tutorial series! I’ll show tweets and blogs from known people in our area to see what they think about testing nowadays :)

We will also talk about the pyramid of testing and some changing concepts in the last decade regarding unit testing vs integration testing vs end to end testing.
