Front-End Engineer (React): improve testing coverage
AnthroposNavigator's Booking Module has low test coverage and recurring bugs impacting user experience.
With only 65% test coverage, over 30 bugs have been reported in six months, many related to date selection.
Your goal is to increase test coverage to 85% and reduce reported bugs by 50%.
You are a Front End Developer Consultant at Navigator, a leading online travel booking platform.
Navigator is one of the leading online booking companies, founded in 2008. Thanks to an aggressive marketing strategy and strategic partnerships with airlines and hotel chains, Navigator has gained a prominent position in the travel booking sector. The platform allows users to book flights, hotels, and other travel activities, offering advanced features such as price search, user reviews, and last-minute deals. Navigator has achieved significant milestones, including expansion into over 50 countries and managing over 10 million bookings each year. It uses ReactJS for the front end and Node.js for the back end, relying on testing frameworks like Jest and Enzyme to maintain the application's reliability and stability.
The main challenge of the simulation is to improve the test coverage of the "Booking Module" of Navigator's React application. Currently, the unit test coverage is 65%, and over 30 bugs have been reported in the last six months, many of which concern date selection. The goal is to increase unit test coverage from 65% to 85% and reduce the number of reported bugs by 50%. The player will need to collaborate with Tom Dixon, the Test Lead, to identify gaps in existing tests and propose new tests that cover unconsidered scenarios.
