Learning Backbone.js Testing

Getting Started with Testing 4 lectures 14:04 The Course Overview The viewer may not know what’s in store for them in this course yet. We’ll tell you what the scope of the course is, what the goals are, and how we’ll go about it.

• Introduction to the scope of the course
• Understand the process of how we’ll be working through the material
• Go through the sample app we’ll be building along the way

Testing and Why It’s Used Testing adds overhead and time to a development process. We want to explain the benefits of testing and describe unit testing and functional testing.

• Learn how the benefits of testing offset the investment needed to start and maintain the testing process
• Understand and demonstrate unit testing
• Demonstrate functional testing

Understanding TDD versus BDD Describe the nuances between TDD and BDD. Prevent confusion of these very similar concepts.

• Introduce and define TDD and BDD
• Check examples of both "to compare" and "to contrast"
• Understand why we’re using BDD

Investigating Our Toolshed Many tools help in automated testing and it’s hard to decide where to start. We’ll narrow down the list and describe the necessary programs.

• Catalog our selection of automated testing tools
• Describe each tool from our toolshed

Understanding Jasmine 5 lectures 14:23 Introducing Jasmine You may not have experience with Jasmine, and may not even have it on your computer. We’ll download the library and go through an overview of the directory structure.

• Discuss in depth what Jasmine is
• Download Jasmine on your machine
• Understand the directory structure

Making Our Way Through the Syntax Jasmine provides a set of global functions, which we’ll introduce and discuss here.

• Discuss the 'describe' and 'it' functions
• Understand the anatomy of a test
• Introduce matchers

Writing a Simple Test Viewers will get their hands dirty by writing a test using Jasmine style syntax.

• Write a test for ‘getNthElement’
• Write an implementation of 'getNthElement'
• Explore the test interface and write another test

Hands-on Challenge – Adding to Our getNthElement Function We want to add a new feature to our function. The viewer is going to add it on their own in this challenge.

• Understand the new feature to add to getNthElement
• Write the tests and the implementation to pass the tests

Using Backbone.js in Jasmine Tests Our tests so far have been vanilla JavaScript, but the rest of the course will be focused on Backbone tests. We’ll integrate the library here.

• Explain the process of using Backbone.js in our tests
• Write a test for the presence of Backbone.js and its dependencies
• Add Backbone.js and its dependencies to our runner.html file
