+  The `AppComponent` is the declared test subject 
+  The setup extends the default testing module with one real component (`BannerComponent`) and several stubs.
+
+  * `BannerComponent` is simple and harmless to use as is.
+
+  * The real `WelcomeComponent` has an injected service. `WelcomeStubComponent` is a placeholder with no service to worry about.
+
+  * The real `RouterOutlet` is complex and errors easily. 
+  The `RouterOutletStubComponent` (in `testing/router-stubs.ts`) is safely inert.
+  
+  The component stubs are essential. 
+  Without them, the Angular compiler doesn't recognize the `<app-welcome>` and `<router-outlet>` tags 
+  and throws an error.

+:marked
+  The `host` metadata property wires the click event of the host element (the `<a>`) to the directive's `onClick` method.
+  The URL bound to the `[routerLink]` attribute flows to the directive's `linkParams` property. 
+  Clicking the anchor should trigger the `onClick` method which sets the telltale `navigatedTo` property.
+  Tests can inspect that property to confirm the expected _click-to-navigation_ behavior.

+  Two points of special interest:

+  1. You can locate elements _by directive_, using `By.directive`, not just by css selectors.
+
+  1. You can use the component's dependency injector to get an attached directive because 
+  Angular always adds attached directives to the component's injector.

+    The "click" test _in this example_ is worthless.
+    It works hard to appear useful when in fact it 
+    tests the `RouterLinkStubDirective` rather than the _component_.
+    This is a common failing of directive stubs.
+    
+    It has a legitimate purpose in this chapter. 
+    It demonstrates how to find a `RouterLink` element, click it, and inspect a result,
+    without engaging the full router machinery.
+    This is a skill you may need to test a more sophisticated component, one that changes the display,

+  to tell the compiler to ignore unrecognized elements and attributes.
+  You no longer have to declare irrelevant components and directives.
+  
+  These tests are ***shallow*** because they only "go deep" into the components you want to test.

+:marked
+  # Test an attribute directive
+
+  An _attribute directive_ modifies the behavior of an element, component or another directive.
+  Its name reflects the way the directive is applied: as an attribute on a host element.
+
+  The sample application's `HighlightDirective` sets the background color of an element
+  based on either a data bound color or a default color (lightgray).
+  It also sets a custom property of the element (`customProperty`) to `true` 
+  for no reason other than to show that it can.
++makeExample('testing/ts/app/shared/highlight.directive.ts', '', 'app/shared/highlight.directive.ts')(format='.')
+:marked
+  It's used throughout the application, perhaps most simply in the `AboutComponent`:
++makeExample('testing/ts/app/about.component.ts', '', 'app/about.component.ts')(format='.')
+:marked
+  Testing the specific use of the `HighlightDirective` within the `AboutComponent` requires only the
+  techniques explored above (in particular the ["Shallow test"](#shallow-component-test) approach).
++makeExample('testing/ts/app/about.component.spec.ts', 'tests', 'app/about.component.spec.ts')(format='.')
+:marked
+  However, testing a single use case is unlikely to explore the full range of a directive's capabilities.
+  Finding and testing all components that use the directive is tedious, brittle, and almost as unlikely to afford full coverage.
+
+  [Isolated unit tests](#isolated-tests) might be helpful. 
+  But attribute directives like this one tend to manipulate the DOM. 
+  Isolated tests don't and therefore don't inspire confidence in the directive's efficacy.
+
+  A better solution is to create an artificial test component that demonstrates all ways to apply the directive.
++makeExample('testing/ts/app/shared/highlight.directive.spec.ts', 'test-component', 'app/shared/highlight.directive.spec.ts (test component)')(format='.')

+  img(src='/resources/images/devguide/testing/highlight-directive-spec.png' width="200px" alt="HighlightDirective spec in action")
+.l-sub-section
+  :marked
+    The `<input>` case binds the `HighlightDirective` to the name of a color value in the input box.
+    The initial value is the word "cyan" which should be the background color of the input box.
+:marked
+  Here are some tests of this component:
++makeExample('testing/ts/app/shared/highlight.directive.spec.ts', 'selected-tests', 'app/shared/highlight.directive.spec.ts (selected tests)')
+:marked
+  A few techniques are noteworthy:
+
+  * The `By.directive` predicate is a great way to get the elements that have this directive _when their element types are unknown_.
+
+  * The <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:not" target="_blank">`:not` pseudo-class</a> 
+  in `By.css('h2:not([highlight])')` helps find `<h2>` elements that _do not_ have the directive.
+  `By.css('*:not([highlight])')` finds _any_ element that does not have the directive.
+
+  * `DebugElement.styles` affords access to element styles even in the absence of a real browser, thanks to the `DebugElement` abstraction.
+  But feel free to exploit the `nativeElement` when that seems easier or more clear than the abstraction.
+
+  * Angular adds a directive to the injector of the element to which it is applied. 
+  The test for the default color uses the injector of the 2nd `<h2>` to get its `HighlightDirective` instance
+  and its `defaultColor`.
+  
+  * `DebugElement.properties` affords access to the artificial custom property that is set by the directive.
