@LetsZiggy As you need to test your component, you need to change your `inView` template. Also as the “model” for the component will be bound via the `component.viewModel.activate` method, you can also drop the `.boundTo`. In summary the changes look as follows (from your `compose-elem.spec.js`):

```diff
    component = StageComponent
      .withResources("elements/compose-elem")
- .inView(`
- <compose
- view-model="elements/compose-elem"
- model.bind="model">
- </compose>
- `)
- .boundTo({ model: "new data" })
+ .inView(`<compose-elem></compose-elem>`)

```
