Overview of this book

<p>AngularJS makes web JavaScript web development less painful and more organized – it’s unsurprising that today it’s one of the most popular tools in web development.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example helps you get started with this essential web development framework quickly and easily, guiding you through AngularJS by showing you how to create your own real-world applications. By adopting this approach, you can bridge the gap between learning and doing immediately, as you follow the examples to learn the impressive features of Angular and experience a radically simple–and powerful–approach to web development.</p> <p>You’ll begin by creating a simple Guess the Number game, which will help you get to grips with the core components of Angular, including its MVC architecture, and learn how each part interacts with one another. This will give you a solid foundation of knowledge from which you can begin to build more complex applications, such as a 7 minute workout app and an extended personal trainer app. By creating these applications yourself, you will find out how AngularJS manages client-server interactions and how to effectively utilize directives to develop applications further. You’ll also find information on testing your app with tools such as Jasmine, as well as tips and tricks for some of the most common challenges of developing with AngularJS.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example is a unique web development book that will help you get to grips with AngularJS and explore a powerful solution for developing single page applications.</p>

Getting started with E2E testing


Automated E2E testing is an invaluable asset if the underlying framework supports it. As the size of an app grows, automated E2E testing can save a lot of manual effort. Without automation it's just a never-ending battle to make sure the app is functional. However, remember that in an E2E setup, not everything is automatable; it may require a lot of effort to automate. With due diligence, we can offload a good amount of manual effort but not everything.

The process of E2E testing a web-based application is about running the application in a real browser and asserting the behavior of the application based on the user interface state. This is how an actual user does testing.

Browser automation holds the key here and modern browsers have become smarter and more capable in terms of supporting automation. Selenium tools for browser automation are the most popular option out there. Selenium has the WebDriver (http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-webdriver-20130117/) API...
