Test your JS skills

A set of tests to assess JS skills.

I want to work on the tests; what do I do?

To use the tests, you will need to install Node. Note that on Windows, there are some reports that you will need to restart after installing Node - see #12.

You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:

npm install
npm start

You can then view the tests in your browser at http://localhost:4444.

When you visit that page, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to refer to the tests in the files in the tests/app directory, and edit the files in the app/ directory. Once you update a test, you can reload the test page in the browser to see whether it worked.

You can also run (most of) the tests on the command line:

npm test

Available dependencies

The repo includes jQuery, Backbone, and Underscore. You can use these libraries when writing your solutions!

Data-driven tests

If your tests need data that can be fetched via XHR, stick a .json file in the data directory; you can access it at /data/<filename>.json.

I hate <some technology you've chosen>

This repo uses Mocha and Chai for the tests themselves. It uses the BDD style for authoring tests.
