amaze-tdd

Amaze test-driven development

This is a set of tools that will allow for test-driven development using the following technologies:

• Mocha
• Chai
• selenium-webdriver
• Chrome, Firefox, IE, or PhantomJS

TLDR; Install

Install the suite globally to have easy access to amaze from the command line:

npm install -g amaze-tdd

Then install the testing suite into each project root directory with:

npm install amaze-tdd

Running tests

Ensure the testing suite is required in the test

var Amaze = require('amaze-tdd)

Develop mode

You have the choice between Chrome (preferred) and Firefox for development. In either case you need to make sure the Amaze plugin is installed. As of right now, only Chrome self-installs.

amaze chrome, or

amaze firefox (no plugin at this time)

Production mode

For production, after JavaScript has been compiled and is placed on the remote server, you may use PhantomJS to headlessly test the interfaces. No browser plugin is required.

amaze phantomjs

Test files

Our process will run Mocha on any files in the specified path with the format *-spec.js. This means that the following examples will work:

• test-spec.js
• overlay-name-spec.js
• camelCase-spec.js
• ALLCAPS-spec.js
• some-folder/test-spec.js
• some-folder/nested-folder/test-spec.js

Basically any file that ends with -spec.js will be covered in testing.
