Parting thoughts, next steps, and future ideas

We are now at the end of our journey through the fundamentals of testing Backbone.js applications with Mocha, Chai, and Sinon.JS. We have explored the background, configuration, and use of each of these test frameworks and tried out a number of complementary tools and helpers. We have reviewed Backbone.js application development, specific component testing goals, and written test collections around a full Backbone.js application. So, what comes next?

Our first suggestion is to review the online documentation for the various testing technologies. The official APIs and guides for all of the frameworks we use in the book are quite good and can provide starting points for more complicated test scenarios that may arise in real-world Backbone.js application development. As a refresher, the documentation sites for our core test stack include the following:

• Mocha: http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/

• Chai: http://chaijs.com/

• Sinon.JS: http://sinonjs...
