Javascript Software Testing: unit testing, open source, Jasmine, Karma, Casper.js, QUnit, SinonJS, etc.
Selenium is a great tool for acceptance testing of web applications: it works with real browsers, and drives them to exercise your application of choice in the same way a real user would do. There are however many issues in using Selenium to drive JavaScript-powered applications.
QUnit is a JavaScript test suite. It’s used by the jQuery project to test its code and plugins but is capable of testing any generic JavaScript code and even JavaScript code on the server-side. This article explores how to write unit tests with QUnit for Javascript.
This blog post explores how to do unit testing of javascript using JsTestDriver. The goal of JsTestDriver is to build a JavaScript test runner which easily integrates with continuous builds systems and allows running tests on multiple browsers quickly to ease TDD style development.
Javascript becomes much more important to interactive website development then before (ok it has been for a while already) but the notion of testing that logic seems even further fetched then testing the code written in C#, Java. And this is something that is wrong as well.
