# Frontend Testing
There are two types of tests you'll encounter while developing frontend code
at GitLab. We use Karma and Jasmine for JavaScript unit testing, and RSpec
feature tests with Capybara for integration testing.

Feature tests need to be written for all new features. Regression tests ought
to be written for all bug fixes to prevent them from recurring in the future.
Unit and feature tests need to be written for all new features.
Most of the time, you should use rspec for your feature tests.
There are cases where the behaviour you are testing is not worth the time spent running the full application,
for example, if you are testing styling, animation or small actions that don't involve the backend,
you should write an integration test using Jasmine.

Some fixtures are still HAML templates that are translated to HTML files using the same mechanism (see
`static_fixtures.rb`
).
Those will be migrated over time.
Adding these static fixtures should be avoided as they are harder to keep up to date with real views.
The existing static fixtures will be migrated over time.

#### Stubbing
For unit tests, you should stub methods that are unrelated to the current unit you are testing.
If you need to use a prototype method, instantiate an instance of the class and call it there instead of mocking the instance completely.
For integration tests, you should stub methods that will effect the stability of the test if they
execute their original behaviour. i.e. Network requests.
