Description

Testing JavaScript Applications Video Edition course. In this video course, the speaker reads the book while the content, images, code listings, diagrams and text are displayed on the screen. This course is like an audio book that you can also watch as a video. Automated testing helps you produce higher-quality software in less time, with more reliability, fewer bugs, and without the need for constant manual monitoring. This course is a complete guide to building a comprehensive and reliable test suite for JavaScript applications. You’ll learn both how to write tests and how JavaScript testing tools work from their underpinnings. Lucas de Costa, one of the main contributors to the popular JavaScript testing libraries, helps you adopt a qualitative mindset to make testing decisions that really help your business. You’ll benefit from informative explanations and diagrams, portable code samples, and helpful tips on using the latest and most comprehensive libraries and frameworks in the JavaScript ecosystem.

Automated testing is essential to delivering good JavaScript applications every time. A complete testing strategy should cover functions individually, integration between different parts of your code, and correctness from the end user’s perspective. This book teaches you how to deliver reliable software quickly and reliably. Testing JavaScript Applications teaches you how to implement an automated test application for JavaScript-based web applications. This book covers practical testing strategies, useful tools and libraries, and explains how to foster a quality culture. In this clear, example-rich book, you’ll explore approaches for back-end and front-end applications and learn how to validate your software much faster and more reliably.

What you will learn:

Unit, End-to-End, and Integration Tests: Learn how to run different types of tests to ensure the quality of your code.
Managing Testing Cost and Complexity: Learn strategies to control the costs and complexity associated with testing.
Test Driven Development: Produce higher quality and more reliable code with this development method.
Dealing with External Dependencies: Learn how to write tests for code that depends on external resources.
