Test-Driving JavaScript Applications

Part 2Real-World Automated Testing

In this part, we’ll pull together all the different pieces that we covered in Part 1 by building practical examples. You will test-drive fully functional applications that use Node.js, Express, jQuery, and AngularJS. For the most part, you won’t have to spin up web servers or browsers—that means fast and deterministic feedback loops.

You’ll explore testing the models that talk to databases, the routes that handle URL paths, the code that manipulates the DOM, and functions that serve as AngularJS controllers. You’ll also write and exercise end-to-end integration tests, from the UI, through the controllers, routes, and models, all the way to the database.
