Testing & Deployment Implementation Skill

Unit Testing Basics

TestBed Setup

import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { HttpClientTestingModule, HttpTestingController } from '@angular/common/http/testing';

describe('UserService', () => {
  let service: UserService;
  let httpMock: HttpTestingController;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [HttpClientTestingModule],
      providers: [UserService]
    });

    service = TestBed.inject(UserService);
    httpMock = TestBed.inject(HttpTestingController);
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    httpMock.verify();
  });
});

Component Testing

describe('UserListComponent', () => {
  let component: UserListComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<UserListComponent>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [UserListComponent],
      imports: [CommonModule, HttpClientTestingModule],
      providers: [UserService]
    }).compileComponents();

    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(UserListComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
  });

  it('should display users', () => {
    const mockUsers: User[] = [
      { id: 1, name: 'John' },
      { id: 2, name: 'Jane' }
    ];

    component.users = mockUsers;
    fixture.detectChanges();

    const compiled = fixture.nativeElement as HTMLElement;
    const userElements = compiled.querySelectorAll('.user-item');
    expect(userElements.length).toBe(2);
  });

  it('should call service on init', () => {
    const userService = TestBed.inject(UserService);
    spyOn(userService, 'getUsers').and.returnValue(of([]));

    component.ngOnInit();

    expect(userService.getUsers).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});

Testing Async Operations

// Using fakeAsync and tick
it('should load users after delay', fakeAsync(() => {
  const userService = TestBed.inject(UserService);
  spyOn(userService, 'getUsers').and.returnValue(
    of([{ id: 1, name: 'John' }]).pipe(delay(1000))
  );

  component.ngOnInit();
  expect(component.users.length).toBe(0);

  tick(1000);
  expect(component.users.length).toBe(1);
}));

// Using waitForAsync
it('should handle async operations', waitForAsync(() => {
  const userService = TestBed.inject(UserService);
  spyOn(userService, 'getUsers').and.returnValue(
    of([{ id: 1, name: 'John' }])
  );

  component.ngOnInit();
  fixture.whenStable().then(() => {
    expect(component.users.length).toBe(1);
  });
}));

Mocking Services

HTTP Mocking

it('should fetch users from API', () => {
  const mockUsers: User[] = [{ id: 1, name: 'John' }];

  service.getUsers().subscribe(users => {
    expect(users.length).toBe(1);
    expect(users[0].name).toBe('John');
  });

  const req = httpMock.expectOne('/api/users');
  expect(req.request.method).toBe('GET');
  req.flush(mockUsers);
});

// POST with error handling
it('should handle errors', () => {
  service.createUser({ name: 'Jane' }).subscribe(
    () => fail('should not succeed'),
    (error) => expect(error.status).toBe(400)
  );

  const req = httpMock.expectOne('/api/users');
  req.flush('Invalid user', { status: 400, statusText: 'Bad Request' });
});

Service Mocking

class MockUserService {
  getUsers() {
    return of([
      { id: 1, name: 'John' },
      { id: 2, name: 'Jane' }
    ]);
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-test',
  template: '<div>{{ (users$ | async)?.length }}</div>'
})
class TestComponent {
  users$ = this.userService.getUsers();
  constructor(private userService: UserService) {}
}

describe('TestComponent with Mock', () => {
  let component: TestComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<TestComponent>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [TestComponent],
      providers: [
        { provide: UserService, useClass: MockUserService }
      ]
    }).compileComponents();

    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(TestComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should render users', () => {
    const div = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('div');
    expect(div.textContent).toContain('2');
  });
});

E2E Testing with Cypress

Basic E2E Test

describe('User List Page', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    cy.visit('/users');
  });

  it('should display user list', () => {
    cy.get('[data-testid="user-item"]')
      .should('have.length', 10);
  });

  it('should filter users by name', () => {
    cy.get('[data-testid="search-input"]')
      .type('John');

    cy.get('[data-testid="user-item"]')
      .should('have.length', 1)
      .should('contain', 'John');
  });

  it('should navigate to user detail', () => {
    cy.get('[data-testid="user-item"]').first().click();
    cy.location('pathname').should('include', '/users/');
    cy.get('[data-testid="user-detail"]').should('be.visible');
  });
});

Page Object Model

// user.po.ts
export class UserPage {
  navigateTo(path: string = '/users') {
    cy.visit(path);
    return this;
  }

  getUsers() {
    return cy.get('[data-testid="user-item"]');
  }

  getUserByName(name: string) {
    return cy.get('[data-testid="user-item"]').contains(name);
  }

  clickUser(index: number) {
    this.getUsers().eq(index).click();
    return this;
  }

  searchUser(query: string) {
    cy.get('[data-testid="search-input"]').type(query);
    return this;
  }
}

// Test using PO
describe('User Page', () => {
  const page = new UserPage();

  beforeEach(() => {
    page.navigateTo();
  });

  it('should find user by name', () => {
    page.searchUser('John');
    page.getUsers().should('have.length', 1);
  });
});

Build Optimization

AOT Compilation

// angular.json
{
  "projects": {
    "app": {
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "options": {
            "aot": true,
            "outputHashing": "all",
            "sourceMap": false,
            "optimization": true,
            "buildOptimizer": true,
            "namedChunks": false
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Bundle Analysis

# Install webpack-bundle-analyzer
npm install --save-dev webpack-bundle-analyzer

# Run analysis
ng build --stats-json
webpack-bundle-analyzer dist/app/stats.json

Code Splitting

// app-routing.module.ts
const routes: Routes = [
  { path: '', component: HomeComponent },
  {
    path: 'admin',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./admin/admin.module').then(m => m.AdminModule)
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./users/users.module').then(m => m.UsersModule)
  }
];

Performance Monitoring

Core Web Vitals

// Using web-vitals library
import { getCLS, getFID, getFCP, getLCP, getTTFB } from 'web-vitals';

getCLS(console.log);
getFID(console.log);
getFCP(console.log);
getLCP(console.log);
getTTFB(console.log);

Error Tracking (Sentry)

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/angular";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
  integrations: [
    new Sentry.BrowserTracing(),
    new Sentry.Replay(),
  ],
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  replaysSessionSampleRate: 0.1,
  replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0,
});

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: ErrorHandler,
      useValue: Sentry.createErrorHandler(),
    },
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Testing Best Practices

1. Arrange-Act-Assert: Clear test structure
2. One Assertion per Test: Keep tests focused
3. Test Behavior: Not implementation details
4. Use Page Objects: For E2E tests
5. Mock External Dependencies: Services, HTTP
6. Test Error Cases: Invalid input, failures
7. Aim for 80% Coverage: Don't obsess over 100%
