Summary


In this chapter, you learned what YUI Test is and how to use the JavaScript unit testing framework to test synchronous JavaScript code. You also got to know how to test asynchronous (Ajax) JavaScript code by using the YUI Test wait and resume mechanism. You learned the various assertions provided by the framework, how to get the XML and JSON test reports using the framework reporter APIs, and how to generate the test reports automatically by using the YUI Test Selenium Driver. You also learned how to automate the YUI tests using the YUI Test Selenium Driver and how to integrate the automation script with Ant as an example of the build management tools. Along the way, we applied all of these concepts to test our weather application. In the next chapter, you will learn how to work with the QUnit framework and how to use it to test the weather application.
