Download materials

Jasmine is one of the most popular JavaScript unit testing frameworks that allows JavaScript developers to develop "descriptive" testing code which does not necessarily need a JavaScript expert to understand it. Although Jasmine is a popular JavaScript unit testing framework and is used in many web applications, it does not have an out-of the box way to automate the running of its tests because it is designed to run from the browser. This session discusses how to develop a "complete" quality tests for the JavaScript code of the web applications using Jasmine as a powerful descriptive JavaScript unit testing tool and how to "automate" running the Jasmine tests on the web browsers. The session also discusses how to generate Jasmine reports from both the build and continuous integration tools.
