   Mastering Mocking in Automated Tests with Artem Zakharchenko

   Cory and Artem discuss the intricacies of mocking in software testing, focusing on common mistakes developers make, the importance of understanding the boundaries of mocking, and the distinction between unit and integration testing. We delve into the role of end-to-end testing, strategies for prioritizing tests, and best practices for mocking third-party services. The discussion highlights the benefits of using Mock Service Worker (MSW) and compares it with alternative tools, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean production codebase while effectively managing mock data. We discuss various aspects of software testing, focusing on the importance of mocking, the use of tools like Faker for generating realistic mock data, and the implications of the HAR format in testing. We explore the balance between unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, emphasizing the need for clarity and value in testing practices.

   The New One React Framework with Nate Wienert

   In this episode, I talk to One’s lead developer, Nate Wienert. One is unique because it supports doing React and React native in the same project, using Vite. One has file-based routing, and supports SPA, Static, and server rendering modes. One also includes Tamagui, a React styling system that works on both web and mobile. We also discuss Zero, which is an optional companion library that’s coming soon. Zero will provide local oriented data, which should feel familiar to native developers who often use local databases. Zero will perform smart sync between client and server, caching, and more.
