Testing javascript

[adriaanp]

Hi all,

I'm looking into unit testing javascript.

Any pointers on what to test on javascript and which frameworks to
use?

Thanks,
Adriaan

Hi there,

 

Here is a nice list with some comments: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/300855/looking-for-a-better-javascript-unit-test-tool 

 

Some other nice ones not included in the list are:

 

1) Vows (Node JS unit testing http://vowsjs.org/)

2) Jasmine (http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/) -- I know the guys at Sencha use this

 

I've been focussing on trying to get Jasmine working with the code that I write and when I am more comfortable with the framework I will look at presenting on it at the monthly meetup.

 

Hope these links help a bit.

 

Good luck!

Hey Adriaan

Have a look at Jarrod's presentation from JSinSA:
http://www.jsinsa.com/jsinsa/SessionSlidesDemos.aspx

His demos and slides are there too.

I agree with Steve, Jasmine is very cool, here is a short screencast on doing a kata with Jasmine http://www.alexyork.net/blog/post/JavaScript-TDD-with-Jasmine-the-FizzBuzz-kata-(screencast).aspx
