This document discusses client-side testing using Jasmine and Karma. It introduces Jasmine as the most popular testing framework for writing unit tests in the browser. It demonstrates a simple example of using Jasmine to test a Person constructor function. It then discusses Karma, a test runner that makes browser testing seamless. Karma allows running tests across multiple browsers simultaneously. The document also covers techniques for testing AngularJS controllers and services, including mocking external server calls. It emphasizes that while tests may pass using mocks, the mocks represent the contract with the external system and code could still fail if that contract changes.

What it is not:
It's not a framework for running tests
But karma is....

the rescuethe rescue
Load an html file in the current DOM
Test the javascript that interacts with it

15. Preparation
document.body.innerHTML = __html__['views/index.html'];
var button = $('button');
var h1 = $('h1');
it('should start with 0', function() {
expect(h1.text()).toEqual('0');
});
it('should add one', function() {
button.click();
expect(h1.text()).toEqual('1');
});

<h1>{{count}}</h1>
</div>
function MyController($scope) {
$scope.count = 0;
$scope.addOne = function() {
$scope.count++;
}
}

17. AngularJSAngularJS
Controller
Handles view state
Makes data and functions accessible via $scope
Doesn't know DOM
View (template)
Data binding
Glue events

18. How the test will look likeHow the test will look like
it('should bind h1 to count', function() {
$scope.count = 10;
$scope.$apply();
expect(h1.text()).toEqual('10');
});
it('should call add one on button click', function() {
button.click();
expect($scope.addOne).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

create: function(product) {
var response = serverApi.createProduct(product);
if(response.success) {

}
}
}
serverApi = {

$.ajax(...);
}
}
