JavaScript Tests in Node, the Browser, and CI

Submitted Jun 20, 2020

Session type:: Full talk (40 mins duration)

Good software practices don’t end just because you’re building a thick client in the browser. The JavaScript community is a flourishing boutique of high-quality tools and techniques. We’ll dig into some of the more popular open-source JavaScript patterns that have emerged from the Node community. We’ll see mocha, chai, karma, and headless Chrome in action, look at some great techniques and patterns for browser development, and brush up on things that make JavaScript is a phenomenal place to work.

Outline

This no-slides talk is perfect for those new to unit testing or who need a bit of motivation to test their code. We live-code tests for sync code, async code using callbacks, promise code, and async/await. We write tests to validate behavior, discover behavior, and find bugs. We test code in Node, in a browser, and unit test from a DevOps build. Users leave with a concrete unerstanding of how to get started with JavaScript testing, and hopefully are now motivated to begin.
