Summary


We've now reached the end of the chapter; even though it was short, it covered some useful points on unit testing practices and how we can save ourselves time and effort by automating our testing. Let's quickly recap what we learned.

We kicked off with a quick revisit of the principles of QUnit and how to install it; we briefly covered the most popular method but also looked at how to use CDN and Bower to make the libraries available in our code.

Next up came a look at some basic examples of testing; while these are very simple, they highlighted the principles we should use in unit testing. These were explored further with a discussion on the best practices to follow when unit testing with QUnit.

We've now reached the end of the book. I hope you enjoyed our journey through Mastering jQuery and have seen that it is not just about writing code but about some of the more soft topics, which will help enhance your skills as a jQuery developer.
