   5 ## What you will need to get started
   6
   7 This project uses [node][node] for most of its development processes.
   8 Once you have node installed according to the instructions there, run
   9 `npm install` from the root of the project.
  10
  11 For local development serve the page by running `npm run dev` from the
  12 root of the project.
  13
  14 This project depends on the [forum server][forum-server], so make sure
  15 that's running before starting.
  16
  17 ## Testing
  18
  19 You can run tests with `npm test`. The tests use `testing-library`, `pact`,
  20 and `jest`.

  22 Here's some short guidelines:
  23   - Every component that receives props or changes state should be tested.
  24   - Test expected outcomes, not implementation details.
  25   - Avoid mocking unless it's an external call
  26   - Stores that interact with the API should be tested using pact
