Test-Driven JavaScript

Published November 8th, 2010 Under Unit Testing | Leave a Comment

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. How do you test drive your javascript development, what do you need to think about to make it testable? How can you deal with timers, async calls and the dom. Demonstrate all these things including how easy it is to make your own fakes for testing. Demonstrate the refactoring and changing behaviour becomes so much easier.And not to forget that the design of the code is much better as well. Basically that you gain all the benefits that TDD gives you in other languages also when doing TDD for javascript development
