Overview
For JavaScript developers working on increasingly large and
complex projects, effective automated testing is crucial to
success. Test-Driven JavaScript Development is a
complete, best-practice guide to agile JavaScript testing and
quality assurance with the test-driven development (TDD)
methodology. Leading agile JavaScript developer Christian Johansen
covers all aspects of applying state-of-the-art automated testing
in JavaScript environments, walking readers through the entire
development lifecycle, from project launch to application
deployment, and beyond.
Using real-life examples driven by unit tests, Johansen shows how
to use TDD to gain greater confidence in your code base, so you can
fearlessly refactor and build more robust, maintainable, and
reliable JavaScript code at lower cost. Throughout, he addresses
crucial issues ranging from code design to performance
optimization, offering realistic solutions for developers, QA
specialists, and testers.
Coverage includes
• Understanding automated testing and
TDD
• Building effective automated testing
workflows
• Testing code for both browsers and
servers (using Node.js)
• Using TDD to build cleaner APIs, better
modularized code, and more robust software
• Writing testable code
• Using test stubs and mocks to test units
in isolation
• Continuously improving code through
refactoring
• Walking through the construction and
automated testing of fully functional software
