Test Driving Agile Angular with Jasmine & Karma

About this Presentation

Agile Engineering & Test Driven Development of frontend JavaScript User Interface code is often passed over using the excuse that the UI code is “declarative” (What you see is what you get) and therefore does not ‘need’ to be tested. Others, will dismiss testing frontend AJAX code as too difficult to maintain or unnecessary because it is only important in context with the server. We will show how these misconceptions are false.

We will cover several popular JavaScript tools and technologies that make Agile frontend web development easy. We will show how these front end technologies cannot only be functionally tested, but Unit Tested. If time is available will cover Continuous Integration, Dependency Injection, & Mock objects.

By including your front-end code in your automated testing process you can prevent the inclusion of bugs that are usually only caught with manual testing.
