Video description

In this JavaScript Unit Testing training course, expert author Mark Ethan Trostler will teach you the theory and practice of JavaScript unit testing. This course is designed for users that already have a basic understanding of JavaScript.

You will start by learning the basics of unit testing, then jump into learning how to code for testability. From there, Mark will teach you about Jasmine, including how to run and select tests, write a custom matcher, and how to extend Jasmine. This video tutorial also covers other JavaScript testing frameworks, such as QUnit and Mocha. Finally, you will learn about automation and continuous integration.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned everything you need to know about JavaScript unit testing and automation. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
