JavaScript has long been the leading language for web developers: it is now used widely in both front-end and back-end development, in areas ranging from user interfaces to complex server-side tasks. However, JavaScript has a reputation for poor development methodologies and weak quality assurance. Test Driven JavaScript Development is the solution. This book walks through every facet of applying state-of-the-art, automated test-driven and behavior-driven testing techniques to JavaScript code. Christian Johansen covers the entire process of JavaScript development - from start to deployment - using real-life examples driven by unit tests every step of the way. He demonstrates how to use Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development principles to build more robust JavaScript applications from the ground up - and how to integrate JavaScript development with agile methods to write better code at lower cost. Through relevant, up-to-date examples, he addresses key issues ranging from code design to performance optimization. This is the only JavaScript testing book of its kind - and the only one web developers will ever need.
