Summary

In this chapter, we have taken a brief look at JavaScript testing and a Grunt plugin, which we could use to integrate Mocha into our Grunt build. We have seen a short introduction into Grunt plugins and how they work, as well as other useful plugins. Finally, we covered JavaScript Resources and Development Tools not specifically related to Grunt, however, when combined with Grunt, each tool may help to bring our development cycle to the next level.

Thank you for purchasing Getting Started with Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner. I hope this introduction to Grunt was both informative and interesting to read. You can find me on GitHub http://gswg.io#jpillora and you may send comments and feedback to or tweet them at @jpillora. I look forward to hearing your responses.
