Testing node.js

[Ian Petzer]

Hello Noders,

There are sooooo many testing frameworks for node.js....

I'm not quite sure where to start.

Does anyone have a favourite ... ( and a possibly reason why..?)

Hi Ian 

Nice writeup on just testing very simply : http://th3james.github.io/blog/2013/09/25/testing-code-is-simple/

We user mocha BDD style with Chai 

- http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/ 

- http://chaijs.com/

It makes for readable tests and its something I am used to :)

Thanks Len!

Its also the most watched testing repo on the node toolbox: http://nodetoolbox.com/categories/Testing

So I'll give it a try....

I've been using https://npmjs.org/package/supertest

for the full-stack tests … Very readable tests.

I have been using Mocha and Chai, and Sinon for mocking.

We use mocha and supertest for functional api tests.

I know this is an old thread, but picking up on testing again... It looks like this could be a cool series, provided there's a part 2 and onwards... ;-)
