- Bloc Test Tutorial — Easier Way to Test Blocs in Dart & Flutter: Blocs are meant to hold logic and, as proper programmers, we should probably write some tests to verify whether or not the logic is correct. If you follow test-driven development, writing tests is even more crucial. There’s one problem though — testing Blocs requires a lot of boilerplate.
