What are the best practices for testing Vue components with Jest?

Some best practices include using shallowMount for unit tests, organizing tests clearly, and mocking dependencies.

Can you explain why shallowMount is preferred?

ShallowMount renders only the component being tested, which makes tests faster and isolates the component from its children.

What about testing Vuex store actions?

For Vuex store actions, you can mock the store and test the actions by dispatching them and checking the state changes.

Any tips for writing effective test cases?

Yes! Write clear and descriptive test names, cover edge cases, and keep tests independent to ensure reliability.
