In this video I cover widget tests in depth.
This will give you a solid understanding about testing in Flutter, so that you can ensure your widgets behave as expected.
This is based on my Firebase authentication demo, which I have covered in my previous videos.

- I'm using the iOS simulator, but you can open the Android emulator and run the same code.
- To run the code on the demo, follow the instructions on the project README file to setup your own Firebase instance.
This code was written with Flutter Beta 0.5.1, and is tested to work with Dart 2.
