Commitment to Open Source #

HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.

If you are interested in conducting a hands-on session on any of the topics falling under the themes described above, please submit a proposal under the workshops section. We also need you to tell us about your past experience in teaching and/or conducting workshops.

Crisp overview on Javascript testing tools

Submitted Jul 31, 2015

Giving an overview of a variety of tools [mainly in the testing space] for Javascript, to select the right tool for solving the right problem

Outline #

There exists a variety of tools in the testing space of Javascript, say Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, Chai etc. which are the popular Unit testing tools. Recently quiet a number of tools introduced for Contract Tests [a suggested technique for testing across services http://martinfowler.com/articles/consumerDrivenContracts.html]. Apart from this there are tools such as wraith (https://github.com/BBC-News/wraith) for screenshot comparison.

The idea of this session is to give an overview of different kinds of testing tools [in the space such as Unit, Integration, Smoke etc.], along with tooling for mocking and stubbing which is very key for automated testing.

The structure of the talk will be demo for each tools along with brief explanation of the same.
