Advanced QUnit - Front-End JavaScript Unit Testing

Published: 2013-11-14 by Lars  testingUI

A couple of months ago I linked to a presentation on advanced unit testing techniques for front-end JavaScript using Jasmine. This week I did a presentation for a client using QUnit instead, covering roughly the same subjects:

• Mocking and spy techniques to avoid dependencies on
  • Functions, methods and constructor functions
  • Time (new Date())
  • Timers (setTimeout, setInterval)
  • Ajax requests
  • The DOM
  • Events
• Structuring tests for reuse and readability
• Testing browser-specific behaviour
• Leak detection

You can look at the code and watch the slides:
