1. NodeJs
testing tools and continuous integration
Davide Fiorello

2. Mocha
• Javascript Test Framework
• Run in Node.js and Browser
environment
• BDD, TDD, QUnit
• Synchronous and Asynchronous

3. Mocha - Interfaces
• BDD
1 describe('My first test', function(){
2 it('pass it!!');
3 });
• TDD
1 suite('Array', function(){
2 setup(function(){
3 });
4
5 suite('#indexOf()', function(){
6 test('should return -1 when not present', function(){
7 // ASSERT
8 });
9 });
10 });

4. Mocha - Sync, Async,
Pending
1 describe('Let's test..', function() {
2 it('Test something sync', function() {
3 // ASSERT
4 });
5
6 it('Test something async', function(done) {
7 user.save(function(err){
8 if (err) throw err;
9 // ASSERT
10 done();
11 });
12 });
13
14 it('Pending test');
15 });

5. Mocha - Before, After, ...
1 describe('Let's test..', function() {
2 before(function(){
3 // ...
4 });
5
6 beforeEach(function(done){
7 // ... -> done()
8 });
9
10 after(function(){
11 // ...
12 });
13
14 afterEach(function(){
15 // ...
16 });
17 });

6. Mocha - Only, skip
1 describe('A test', function() {
2 it.only('Test only this', function(done) {
3 // ...
4 });
5 });
6
7 describe('Another test', function() {
8 it.skip('Don't test this', function(done) {
9 // ...
10 });
11 });

7. Mocha - Has not...
• Assert (should.js, chai, expect.js)
• Spy/Mock/Stub (sinon)
• Code Coverage (istanbul, node-
jscoverage)

8. Should.js
should is an expressive, readable, test
framework agnostic, assertion library.
Main goals of this library to be expressive
and to be helpful.
It keeps your test code clean, and your
error messages helpful.

9. Should.js
1 var should = require('should');
2
3 var user = { name: 'davide', pets: ['tobi', 'loki']};
4
5 user.should.have.property('name', 'davide');
6 user.should.have.property('pets').with.lengthOf(2);
7
8 should(user).have.property('name', 'davide');
9 should(true).ok;
10
11 should.exist(user);
It extends the Object.prototype with a single non-
enumerable getter that allows you to express how that
object should behave, also it returns itself when required
with require.

10. Should.js - Chaining
assertions
.ok, .true, .false, .eql, .equal, .startWith, .endWith,
.within, .above, .belove, .instanceOf, .Array, .Object,
.String, .Error, .property, .length, .keys, .match, .throw,
.throwError, .json, .html
1 var should = require('should');
2
3 var user = { name: 'davide', age : 22, pets : ['pit',
'fuffy']};
4
5 user.name.should.match(/dav/);
6 user.age.should.be.above(18);
7 user.pets.should.be.Array;
8 user.pets.should.containEql('pit');
9 user.pets.should.not.containEql('mark');

11. Should.js - Chaining
assertions
1 var should = require('should');
2
3 var user = { name: 'davide', age : 22};
4
5 user.age.should.be.greaterThan(18).and.be.lessThan(33);
6
7 user.age.should.greaterThan(18).lessThan(33);
.an, .of, .a,.and, .be, .have, .with, .is, .which
Use them for better readability; they do nothing at all

12. Sinon.js
Standalone test spies, stubs and mocks for
JavaScript.No dependencies, works with any unit testing
framework.

13. Sinon.js
• Spies
• Stubs
• Mocks
• Fake timers
• Fake XHR
• Fake server
• Sandboxing
• Assertions
• Matchers

14. Sinon.js - spies
1 var sinon = require('sinon');
2 var should = require('should');
3
4 function myFunc(value) {
5 myObject.check(value);
6 }
7
8 var myObject = {
9 check : function(value) {
10 // DO Something
11 }
12 };
13 var spy = sinon.spy(myObject, "check");
14 myFunc('test');
15 spy.called.should.be.true;

15. Sinon.js - spies (API)
.withArgs, .callCount, .called, .calledOnce,
.firstCall, .lastCall, .calledBefore, .calledAfter,
.calledWith, .alwaysCalledWith,
.neverCalledWith, .threw, .returned, .args,
.returnValues

16. Sinon.js - stubs
1 var sinon = require('sinon');
2 var should = require('should');
3
4 function myFunc() {
5 return myObject.check();
6 }
7
8 var myObject = {
9 check : function() {
10 return 10;
11 // DO Something
12 }
13 };
14 var stub = sinon.stub(myObject, "check");
15 stub.onFirstCall().returns(1)
16 .onSecondCall().returns(2);
17
18 myFunc('test').should.be.equal(1);
19 myFunc('test').should.be.equal(2);

17. Sinon.js - Stub (API)
.withArgs, .onCall, .onFirstCall,
.onSecondCall, .returns, .returnsThis,
.returnsArg, .throws, .callsArg, .yelds,
.callArgWith, .callArgAsync
