This document discusses JavaScript unit testing with Jasmine. It provides an overview of Jasmine, describes common conventions for folder structure and naming, and discusses how to mock dependencies like Ajax calls and third party libraries. Specific examples are given for testing RequireJS configuration, mocking considerations, mocking Ajax requests, and mocking the JayData library. The document also briefly mentions plugins that can be used with Jasmine and discovering code failures through tests.

2. Agenda
• Jasmine Overview
• Folder structure
• Conventions
• Jasmine plugins
• Test code cases
o RequireJs configuration
o Mock considerations
o Mock Ajax
o Mock JayData (datajs)
• Example of code failure discovery
• Selenium runner

3. Jasmine Overview
• http://pivotal.github.io/jasmine/
• Suite = describe
• Spec = it
• Expect and matchers
• beforeEach, afterEach
• Spies
• Async operations
• SpecRunner
• Test results

4. Folder structure
• The tests root folder is under “WWW” folder.
• Spec runners HTML files are in the root of the tests
folder.
• Folders:
o lib – hold Jasmine source files.
o specs – holds all specs.
• cafe
• login
• pb
o mocks – hold all mock objects
• modules – hold all mock modules that corresponds to source
modules.
• responses – hold mock responses objects.
• objects – hold any other mock object.
o helpers – hold any helper objects.

5. Conventions
• Spec runner html files are in the root of the tests
folder
• Spec file name = <module>.spec.js
• Responses file name = <module>.responses.js
• Mock module name same as source module name
• Use the require map id “src” for mock files with
source dependencies. see
“testmockspbmodulesdb.j”

6. Jasmine plugins
• jasmine-html
• jasmine-jquery
• mock-ajax

7. Test code cases
• RequireJs configuration
• Mock considerations
• Mock Ajax
• Mock JayData (datajs)

8. Example of code failure
discovery
• Missing reject case for loading deferred object in
plans.js

9. Selenium runner
• Selenium can run the jasmine unit tests in build.
