Galaxy uses Jest for its client-side unit testing framework.

For testing Vue components, we use the Vue testing utils to mount individual components in a test bed and check them for rendered features. Please use jest-based mocking for isolating test functionality.

Specific test scenarios & examples

• Mocking an imported dependency
• Testing async operations
• Testing a Vue component for expected rendering output
• Firing an event against a shallow mounted vue component
