Javascript Automatic Testing Toolkit

by Daniel Yang

Purpose

Find out the best Javascript testing library for us.

QUnit vs Jasmine

• support in brower & Node.js
• testing of DOM manipulation
• TDD or BDD

BDD or TDD

in Jasemine

expect(5).toEqual(5);

expect(5).not.toEqual(5);

in Qunit

strictEqual(5, 5);

notStrictEqual(5, 5);

But we need something more...

• how to test in different browers
• how to test with a AMD loader
• and how to automatic testing

JsTestDriver + Jasmine

This is the Taobao's solutions in used, but it has some bugs which make people get fighting mad.

Pro

• testing in different browers
• automatic testing
• BDD style script

Con

• asynchronous support is not good, and you shall mock up the data when using AJAX.
• couldn't support all Jasmine method
• and it built in Java(not JS)

Is there any libaray
can solve these problems?

My answer is Buster.js

Easy to deploy

use npm to install & manager

npm install -g buster

npm install buster-amd

Browser Testing

Buster.JS can automate browsers, JsTestDriver style.

buster server

Buster.JS also has a static browser runner that runs tests by opening a web page in a browser. This is similar to QUnit, Mocha, etc.

buster static

AJAX Testing

using Sinon.JS to mock out the entire XHR stack in a browser, so we can test AJAX easily.

Asynchronous tests

To tag a test as async, have the test function take one argument, done.

The done argument is a function. Call it to tell Buster.JS that the asynchronous test has finished running.

Test reporters

Buster.JS can create all human-consumable reports(by Terminal, JSON, XML and HTML).

Buster Test Reporters Doc

Buster.JS is still beta, so it has some rough edges.

But I think this solutions will satisfy our needs.

Thanks for your watching!
