Development has outpaced tesWng maturity
Why the tendency only to integraWon test our JavaScript?
An idea! Test driven JavaScript
Meet Jasmine…. and JsUnit and JsTestDriver
and Screw.Unit and JSMockito etc.
Why Jasmine? RSpec like syntax Super fast
Easy to integrate Runs anywhere JavaScript runs Supports tesWng of asynchronous code
So, show me….
Some extensions h1ps://github.com/mhevery/jasmine-‐node h1p://rudyla1ae.github.com/jasmine-‐species h1ps://github.com/pivotal/jasmine-‐ajax
Jasmine jQuery • Custom matchers • toHaveHtml(string)
• toBeHidden() • toBeSelected() • spyOnEvent($(‘#some element’), ‘click’) • An API for loading HTML fixtures • loadFixtures(‘myFixturesFile.html’);
Working with the DOM • DRY • Use
your applicaWon to generate the fixture data from actual views • Load the fixture using XHR • Example: h1ps://github.com/pivotaljb/js-‐ fixture-‐example
Watch out for…. • Syntax errors cause specs to
fail silently • Different browsers, different traces
