Overview of this book

<p>Starting with reviewing the test-driven development (TDD) life cycle, you will learn how Karma and Protractor make your life easier while running JavaScript unit tests. You will learn how Protractor is different from Selenium and how to test it entirely. This book is a walk-through to using TDD to build an AngularJS application containing a controller, model, and scope.</p> <p>Building on the initial foundational aspects, you will expand to include testing for multiple controllers, partial views, location references, CSS, and the HTML element. In addition, you will explore using a headless browser with Karma. You will also configure Karma file watching to automate testing and tackle components of AngularJS (controller, service, model, and broadcasting) using TDD. At the end of this book, you will extend explore how to pull data using an external API, setting up and configuring Protractor to use a standalone Selenium server, and setting up Travis CI and Karma to test your application.</p> <p>This book is a complete guide to testing techniques using Karma for unit testing and performing end-to-end testing with Protractor.</p>

GitHub


GitHub is a source control, collaboration, and all-around awesome tool. For open source projects, it is free. Once you sign up, you can get started and create a new repository for your project. GitHub provides a Git URL for every project; the URL can then be set up to push changes like any other Git repository. One of the benefits of using GitHub is that it automatically provides hooks into other applications and services. When setting up continuous integration and testing through Travis CI, you will leverage the Travis CI GitHub hook.
