Overview of this book

If you want to improve responsiveness or the UX in your ASP.NET applications, JavaScript can be a life saver. In an age where server-side operations have shifted to the client, being able to handle JavaScript with confidence and fluency is vital for ASP.NET developers. There’s no point trying to fight it, so start learning with this book. Make sure your projects exceed user expectations. Begin by getting stuck into the basics of JavaScript, and explore the language in the context of ASP.NET Core. You’ll then find out how to put the principles into practice, as you learn how to develop a basic ASP.NET application using Angular 2 and TypeScript. You’ll also develop essential skills required to develop responsive apps, with a little help from AJAX, ensuring that you’re building projects that can be easily accessed across different devices. With guidance on Node.js and some neat techniques to test and debug a range of JavaScript libraries in Visual Studio, you’ll soon be well on your way to combining JavaScript with ASP.NET in a way that’s capable of meeting the challenges of modern web development head-on.

Testing the JavaScript code


Normally, web applications go through different types of testing, such as user interface (UI) testing, which checks the functionality of the UI by making certain inputs to the form and verifies the behavior of an application. This type of testing is mostly done manually or through automated testing tools. The other type of testing is load testing, which is used mostly to check the performance of an application and by putting up some load on the application. In simple terms, it can be an example of signing in to an application with many number of users or doing some operations through automated routines to test how the application behaves. There are a few more testing types, but the most essential type of testing that ensures the functionality of the application and certifies whether the application complies with the requirements is unit testing. In this section, we will discuss about unit testing JavaScript code using Jasmine (a popular JavaScript unit test framework...
