Read Original

This article critiques a common React testing pattern of mocking a high-level API client. It argues that this approach can hide integration bugs. The author proposes a more reliable alternative: mocking `window.fetch` directly to better verify that the correct network requests are being made, including details like the HTTP method, body, and headers.
