Summary


In this chapter, you learned what JsTestDriver (JSTD) is, the JSTD architecture, the JSTD configuration, and how to use JSTD for testing synchronous JavaScript code. You learned how to test asynchronous (Ajax) JavaScript code using the JSTD AsyncTestCase object. You learned the various assertions provided by the framework and how to generate the test and code coverage reports using the framework's code coverage plugin. You also learned how to use JSTD as a test runner for other JavaScript unit testing frameworks, such as Jasmine and QUnit, in order to enable the execution of the tests of these frameworks from the command-line interface. You learned how to integrate the tests of the JSTD (and the tests of the JavaScript frameworks on the top of JSTD) with build and continuous integration tools, such as Ant and Hudson. You learned how to work with the JSTD framework in one of the most popular IDEs, Eclipse.
