This book covers the most popular modern JavaScript Unit testing frameworks and gives you a crash course in how to use and automate them. Lots of examples and practical instructions make learning easy and enjoyable.

  • Learn and understand, using practical examples, synchronous and asynchronous JavaScript unit testing
  • Cover the most popular JavaScript Unit Testing Frameworks including Jasmine, YUITest, QUnit, and JsTestDriver
  • Automate and integrate your JavaScript Unit Testing for ease and efficiency

In Detail

The largest challenge for many developers’ day to day life is ensuring the support of, and assuring the reach of, their product. With the ever increasing number of mainstream web browsers this is becoming a more difficult task for JavaScript coders.

From the beginning, JavaScript Unit Testing will show you how to reduce the time you spend testing, and automate and ensure efficiency in guaranteeing your success.

JavaScript Unit Testing will introduce and help you master the art of efficiently performing and automating JavaScript Unit tests for your web applications.

Using the most popular JavaScript unit testing frameworks, you will develop, integrate, and automate all the tests you need to ensure the widest reach and success of your web application.

Covering the most popular JavaScript Unit testing frameworks of today, JavaScript Unit Testing is your bible to ensuring the functionality and success of all of your JavaScript and Ajax Web Applications.

Starting with Jasmine, you will also learn about, and use, YUITest, QUnit, and JsTestDriver, integrate them into your projects, and use them together to generate reports.

Learn to automate these tools, make them work for you, and include the power of these tools in your projects from day one.
