define testing strategy for frontend (javascript/react)

@deric4 thanks for the breakdown. I need practice on this too, so def willing to help you out 👍

Since we're already using create-react-app, I recommend testing the frontend with Jest and Enzyme. It's highly compatible/supported and src/setupTests.js is already built into our app for this exact purpose.

I created a branch fe-test-branch where installed enzyme/jest, and set up a very basic config for the Header component. Please note, this is the same exact header component that was originally in App.js, but moved into its own component.

Simply run npm test in the terminal, once initialized type "w" for options, then "a" to run all tests.

We could also implement Selenium for UX testing when we get to that point
