That's right: JavaScript code is testable, despite the lack of unit test standards for this language. With this book, you'll discover how to devise excellent tests and real-world testing plans for your existing JavaScript code. Developers starting out on a new project will greatly benefit from these guidelines. Testing a language that runs within many different implementations and environments is inherently difficult - and since most JavaScript environments are UI-based, automated testing becomes even more difficult. This guide shows developers and their managers how to overcome these problems to test JavaScript code efficiently. Topics include: Which types of Javascript testing are most effective When and why should you run tests on Javascript code Code patterns and anti-patterns that promote and inhibit Javascript testing Integrating unit tests with your development and build environments (automated test running and reporting) Code coverage: how to get it, interpret it, and automatically generate it
Mark has been writing and testing code for over 20 years. From humble beginnings as a Computer Science/Philosophy double major at UC San Diego, to working at both startups (IPivot) and large corporations (Qualcomm, Intel, Redback Networks, Juniper Networks, and currently Yahoo!) he has always been dedicated to code quality. Currently as a Senior Principal Front End Engineer on the Yahoo Mail team, he helps spearhead the unit testing initiative for the latest rewrite of Yahoo Mail. He has spoken at several internal and external conferences (Yahoo TechPulse 2010 and upcoming in 2011, Yahoo's Front End Summit, and most recently at YUIConf 2011) about Testable Javascript and is the author of the Open Source Javascript Unit Test Environment https://github.com/zzo/JUTE).
