What this book covers
Chapter 1, Getting Started with Jasmine Framework, introduces the basics of Jasmine, demonstrates its usage, and explains how unit tests will be designed for JavaScript. This also discusses the role of matchers for writing Jasmine specs.
Chapter 2, Jasmine with TDD and BDD Processes, describes how Jasmine tests will be designed along with application code using TDD and BDD processes, and also explains how to write Jasmine specs for new and existing code by applying TDD and BDD processes.
Chapter 3, Customizing Matchers and Jasmine Functions, elaborates Jasmine functions and the need of custom matchers and their usage. This also examines the concept of pending specs and designing Jasmine specs for exceptions.
Chapter 4, Designing Specs from Requirement, explains how meaningful specs can be designed by determining test requirements.
Chapter 5, Jasmine Spies, illustrates the concept of mocking and how to create Jasmine tests for methods or objects which are dependent on other methods or objects. This also demonstrates how to develop custom or user-defined mock functions.
Chapter 6, Jasmine with AJAX, jQuery, and Fixtures, elaborates how to design and develop a Jasmine spec for AJAX calls, jQuery, and asynchronous operations. This also examines the data-driven approach and how to design Jasmine specs with fixtures to manipulate DOM.
Chapter 7, Code Coverage with Jasmine Tests, covers how to configure code coverage tools and generate coverage reports using karma and istanbul, and it also explores how to increase code coverage for the existing or legacy code.
Chapter 8, Jasmine with Other Tools, describes how to implement Jasmine specs for AngularJS, CoffeeScript, and Node.js.
Chapter 9, Developing JavaScript Apps Using Jasmine - A Real-time Scenario, elaborates a real-time scenario to develop JavaScript applications using Jasmine and explains how to design specs with HTML using BDD approach, and also examines how to develop specs for a Change Request and validate the output of a method, object, or unit using the data-driven approach.
