Testdriven JavaScript Development

Description

This is a sample application that shows the usage of jasmine and js-test-driver to create unit and end2end tests for javascript applications.

UI

The ui is made up of three part:

• model.js: Provides functions to access the backend
• view.js: Provides functions to access the widgets
• controller.js: Adds controller logic to combine the model with the view.

Backend

The backend is a simple servlet that stores data in memory.

• A POST to /js-tdd/rest/customer/* will create a new customer, assign an id and return the new customer
• A GET to /js-tdd/rest/customer/<id> will load the customer with the given id

Project-Setup

This is a default maven WAR project. The jetty is configured so that it does an overlay between the directories src/main/webapp and src/test/webapp.

Tests are executed in the integration-test phase, as some of them need a backend for REST calls.

The js-test-driver server can be started via the jstd-server.sh command.

The tests can be run via the jstd-client.sh command.

The tests may also be run in the jasmine html runner via the url http://localhost:8080/js-tdd/SpecRunner.html

Maven-Configuration

Please set the location of the browser(s) that should be used for the js-test-driver tests in the envirnoment variable JSTD_BROWSER before running the maven build.
