not sure why you want to test the Counter behaviour from the parent (Home), I would incapsulate the increment method into the Counter itself

Imagine that the increment method calls an action creator. In that case I want to pass it as a prop in order to maintain Counter as dumb as possible.
Was wondering about how properly test the Counter component in that case.
Probably I have to mock Home? I must create it in some way, because it's actually the one that triggers renders on Counter.

I think the test you created belongs to Counter. Am I wrong?

Guess this is the way to go:
https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/test-utils.html#mockcomponent

@vesparny yes, it belongs to Counter - see (2).

If you want to keep the increment logic separated, you should check the container components.
I still think that Home is not the right place.

To test "dump" components, I usually pass them mock functions as props.
In that way you can easily check if they have been called or not.
