7 Reasons To Start Doing Test Driven Development
Run Cypress Tests From NUnit Test (C#)
In one of our projects, we recently started using Cypress for end-to-end testing. Cypress executes tests written in JavaScript or TypeScript. However, we wanted to first perform some data-preparation operations using C#. In fact, we needed to run Cypress tests from NUnit C# tests.
In this article, I’m sharing how this can be done ? It will also be useful if you use another testing framework than NUnit, but the examples are based on it.
Foreach, IEnumerable and IEnumerator in C#
Today, we’re taking a deeper look at foreach loop in C#. What does a collection need to be able to use it in a foreach loop? Does it have to implement IEnumerable interface? These questions are often asked during interviews, so it’s worth knowing the answers ?
We will go through a step-by-step example in building our own custom collection to see how all that works. Let’s dive in! ?
Make Your Tests Bulletproof With Mutation Testing
What is mutation testing? How can we generate test cases “for free”? How to make our software tests bulletproof, so we can refactor the code with more confidence?
At Yumasoft, we believe that testing is an inseparable part of software development. Mutation testing, which recently got a bit more attention in programming communities, is a great way of improving our tests. In today’s article, we’re exploring what mutation testing is and why everyone should be using it ?
How To Fix JSON.NET Circular References ($ref) In JavaScript
If you work with a .NET backend that uses JSON.NET for serialization, you might encounter such weird things in the JSON result returned from a controller:
But what you actually want is the real object present there:

Top 5 Places for Digital Nomads in Southeast Asia
Based on my personal experience as a remote worker, I’d like to share with you my top 5 places for digital nomads in Southeast Asia. I found all these places having a great vibe for digital nomads.
At Yumasoft, we leverage remote work. It allows people who cooperate with us to freely travel if they’d like to. Everyone can choose to live in a place they feel comfortable. Especially in current times, when pandemic has changed a lot in terms of remote work. Let’s make a good use of it ?
Why Naming Tests Matters?
Do you even care about naming tests? Or maybe you use some random, not-much-telling names for your test methods? At Yumasoft, we treat testing as an inseparable part of software development. It turns out that the tests you write can tell a lot about your software. However, when named carelessly, these tests have much less value. Let’s talk about naming tests properly, so both programmers and business can get more value of them.
How To Use StrykerJS With jest And TypeScript
Continuing the topic of frontend tests with jest, we’re taking a look at StrykerJS today. Stryker Mutator is one of the most popular tools for mutation testing. We recently struggled with configuring StykerJS to work properly with jest and TypeScript. I’d like to share our solution to these problems in this article.
How To Configure Jest Tests on TeamCity
If you are using jest to write JavaScript/TypeScript tests like this one:
and you’re looking for how to show their results in TeamCity as follows:
Then this article will help you configure that ?
Migrating JavaScript React App to TypeScript
In one of our biggest projects, we develop and maintain a React web application. Last year, we decided to migrate it to TypeScript. How did it go? How did we migrate JavaScript to TypeScript? Was it worth it? What struggles we met and are we still having any issues? I’ll try to address these questions in this article.
Disclaimer: I’m not describing the migration process step-by-step or TypeScript itself in this article. You can find many resources on that online, including official TS docs.
