Abstract:
You know you ought to be writing tests for your JavaScript, but how do you get there? The path to testing, or even test-driven development, is not as difficult as you think. In this talk, I’ll discuss the very basic concepts of testing and how you can apply them in JavaScript, so you can prevent your /js folder from becoming a load of technical debt. If you bring a laptop, you can write your first test in JavaScript!
