add tests / testing framework about teacherfund_next HOT 6 CLOSED

only test critical user journeys (CUJ's) for integration tests:

Most critical user journey: Jackie wants to donate to teacher fund, she goes to website, she donates, jackie leaves and carries on her day.
2nd most critical user journey: Tammy the Teacher wants funds. She goes to the website, logs in to her Teacher account, and requests money and/or supplies via the request portal

Hi @joelwass just want to know, which testing framework are you going to use? Any guidance on doing integration tests? I write unit tests most of the time, but when it comes to integration tests, I don't know how to implement them in a systematic way.

Can I write unit tests?

Yes! I think @stripedpajamas and I need to consider testing frameworks. I'd assume we want to run just integration tests on a headless browser, i don't think there's need for unit tests on our FE.

Thoughts?

Our front end is a little too in flux right now for unit tests. After #100 #101 and #102 are closed, I think it would be safe to add some Enzyme tests to keep any future code changes from regressing on the design.

In regard to integration tests, for now I think it would be fine for now to implement unit tests around our client side API wrapper with mocks and unit tests around our server side API logic.

The testing frameworks for these unit tests can probably be standard Mocha+Chai, as I think that would be the most accessible. That implementation detail is up to @joelwass
