You’ve heard that testing your code is good, but getting started with testing in JavaScript can be tough. There are a lots of new concepts, new terms, and lots of testings frameworks, all promising to make testing “painless”. But whenever you try to start testing your code, it doesn’t seem painless.

We won’t promise to make testing painless, but like many things, it will be easier to get started and more rewarding to stick with it, if you learn the fundamentals well first.

In this session, we’ll look at three core parts to any testing strategy. We’ll demonstrate testing using nothing but vanilla JavaScript. Then, we’ll show how those concepts show up in a couple of popular JavaScript testing frameworks.

If you’ve never done testing before, or you’ve never done JavaScript testing, or even if you just wish you understood more what your JavaScript testing framework was doing, you’ll learn a lot in this session.
