How to test asynchronous logic while avoiding common pitfalls.
-
The difference between the different test doubles: mocks, fakes, stubs, spies etc.
-
When to use a test double and which one to use.
-
How to keep test doubles in sync with the real implementation using Contract Testing.
-
How to handle testing data in a readable and maintainable way with Object Mothers.

How to keep your tests clean from implementation details using Gloves.
The Teaching Approach
This course is thoughtfully structured around the principle of Desirable Difficulty, ensuring that exercises challenge you to think critically and develop a deep understanding, rather than relying on simple, fill-in-the-blank exercises. It also incorporates proven techniques such as Spaced Repetition and Interleaving to maximize learning effectiveness.
This hands-on experience is built on engaging, practical exercises that closely mirror real-world scenarios, emphasizing a pragmatic approach over rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions. Each recommendation is rooted in years of observing diverse teams in action, highlighting practices that reliably deliver results while adapting to varying contexts, rather than adhering to inflexible, dogmatic methods.
This approach ensures that you’re not only learning theory but building a strong foundation of principles and skills that empower you to adapt and apply these techniques to tackle novel problems in your own products with confidence.
Your Instructor
Just like cooking, coding isn’t hard — until it needs to scale.
There’s a big difference between making mac & cheese for yourself and preparing a gourmet meal for 100 guests. Likewise, there’s a gap between writing code that works, and working as a team to ship something robust and maintainable.
What you’ll find here is distilled from around 20 years of painful mistakes, and moments of clarity — across dozens of teams that I've coached and thousands of developers that I've trained. Every lesson serves one goal: helping you build quality software without friction.

FAQ
-
What if I'm totally new to testing?
You're in the right place. The course starts from scratch — what testing is, why it matters, and how to write your first test. No prior testing experience needed, just basic Angular knowledge.
-
What if I already know some testing?
You'll still get a lot out of it. Most developers know the basics but struggle with test doubles, async testing, component testing strategies, or keeping tests maintainable as the app grows. The course goes deep on all of these.
-
What Angular versions does this cover?
While most techniques and patterns are version and tooling agnostic, exercises are currently using:
- Angular 20+ (with signals, standalone components, etc.)
- Vitest 4
-
Is the course up to date?
Yes. The course is actively maintained and updated as Angular evolves. Your purchase includes all future updates at no extra cost.
-
Will this cover Vitest?
Yes. Dedicated module on Vitest Browser Mode is coming soon and included in your purchase at no extra cost.
-
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. Buy once, access forever — including all future updates and new modules.
-
Can I expense this to my company?
Absolutely. Just email me with your company information and I'll send you an invoice that you can submit to your employer. Most companies cover professional development like this.
-
What's the refund policy?
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the course doesn't help you, you get a full refund.
