In his blog post, Stefano Magni, a front-end developer and Cypress ambassador, advocates for a top-to-bottom approach to front-end testing, focusing on UI tests before unit tests. He argues that starting with UI tests, such as end-to-end (E2E) and UI integration tests, provides higher confidence and a more enjoyable entry into testing for beginners. While acknowledging that UI tests can be expensive and time-consuming, Magni highlights their ability to simulate real user interactions, thus offering more practical insights into an application's functionality. He cautions that unit tests, though quicker and simpler, often give less confidence in the application's overall performance. By beginning with UI tests, developers can gain a clearer understanding of testing benefits and eventually appreciate the necessity of unit tests as their projects grow in complexity. Magni emphasizes using modern tools like Cypress or TestCafé and shares that this approach has been successfully adopted in courses such as the React Testing Course for ReactJSDay 2019.
