Starting with JavaScript Unit Testing4:54
An introduction to Unit Testing and this course. DOWNLOAD SUPPORT DOCUMENT HERE
Learning JavaScript Unit Testing4:17
Here, we'll see what this course will teach us and how the courses material and exercises will be presented.
The Jasmine Testing Framework4:29
What is Jasmine and why do we want to consider it? Here, we'll see why we need Jasmine for testing JavaScript projects.
Development in this Course4:00
Creating Unit Tests for JavaScript is done is a fully-functioning development environment. Let's consider our options for this course.
A New Cloud 9 Workspace2:31
Let's get a Cloud 9 workspace defined and ready for code!
A New Node Project4:39
We can create and initialize a new project for working all of the exercises in this course.

Installing and Configuring Jasmine2:13
Let's use npm to install Jasmine and get our project ready for tests.
Installing Jasmine6:06
Let's use npm to install Jasmine and get our project ready for tests.
An Initial Test5:38
Here, we'll discover the initial structure used in a Jasmine test file.
A Functional Spec File6:52
We can write a test that provides feedback in the console log.
Expanding the Spec File5:25
Let's take our initial test a step beyond with additional Jasmine features.

Testing Source Code3:08
Testing source code properly entails assertions and validations. Let's learn to implement these with Jasmine.
Testable Code6:14
We need some source code to test. Let's write up a testable class.
Jasmine Expectations4:53
Expectations are Jasmine's implementation of checks.
Higher Expectations6:50
Expecation assertions are configurable with Jasmine. Here, we'll learn some of the options.
Different Expectations7:23
Let's use additional Jasmine Validation Functions to expand our Unit Tests.

Jasmine Hooks5:44
Functioning differently than tests themselves, Jasmine Hooks add another dimension to test suites.
*All Hooks9:26
Unit Tests can be demanding of their environment and require many supporting resources. Each Hooks can save the day when tests are highly dependent.
*Each Hooks9:59
Let's create a real-world JavaScript project that can be implemented with Jamine Unit Tests.
A Practical Example11:30
Let's create a real-world JavaScript project that can be implemented with Jamine Unit Tests.
Practical Code14:19
We can write up all of the JavaScript that will need to be tested.
Practical Testing17:38
Our real-world example can be fitted with Jasmine Unit Tests to provide complete testing coverage.
Wrap Up3:39
Let's consider all that we've learned and look beyond Webpack's essentials.

Requirements

At least a modest knowledge of JavaScript and common design patterns used in modern development. Ideally, the student should be familiar with creating web applications on npm enabled platforms, frameworks, and libraries.
If the student has only some, or even none of these skills, he/she will still benefit from this course greatly, but may need to pause a video in progress to perform some additional background research. This is encouraged, as it'll only make for a better overall experience and net benefit.
NO PRIOR TESTING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!!!

Description
