Error Handling and Debugging Node Applications

Dealing with errors involves two very different processes; error handling and debugging. Error handling is a combination of coding and methodology that allows your program to anticipate its users and the errors. Errors, bugs, and debugging are therefore, a part of a programmer's life. This learning sprint, will enable you to handle error using exception handling mechanisms and debug a code using the inbuilt debugger tools of Chrome and VSCode.

Unit Testing using Mocha and Chai

Testing is essential to identify mistakes. Some mistakes might be less important, while some are expensive or could be life-threatening. It is therefore crucial, to test everything that is produced because things can go wrong; humans can make mistakes at any time. Testing is important since it discovers defects/bugs before delivery to the client. It guarantees quality of both the service and software. It makes a software more reliable and easy to use. A thoroughly tested software ensures a reliable and high-performance software operation. In this learning sprint, you will learn how to test JavaScript file using Mocha and Chai testing library.

About the RESTful Microservices Using Node.js and Express Specialization

Backend refers to the server side of development. Here, the primary focus is on how a website works. Node.js is considered efficient for the development of backend applications as it brings event-driven programming and enables development of fast and efficient web servers in JavaScript. Developers can create scalable servers by using a simplified model of event-driven programming that uses call-backs to signal completion of a task.
