Jasmine-BDD: A Screencast On The Standalone Test Runner

10 November, 2011. It was a Thursday.

My 2nd screencast at WatchMeCode.net is now online, and is free!

WatchMeCode Episode 2: The Jasmine Standalone Runner

In this episode, I cover the basics of JavaScript testing with the Jasmine-BDD test framework, showing how to install and use the standalone version.

What you’ll see:

Download Jasmine
Jasmine’s folder structure
PlayerSpec.js
The guts of a test
Custom Jasmine matchers
Writing our own spec
Running our spec

What you’ll get in the download:

Code from the episode
17 minutes of content
iOS optimized, 720p video

I’m not covering the real deep details on “why Jasmine”, “why write tests” or anything like that in this episode. I’m going to be working on a more in-depth screencast and/or series to cover more of these topics soon, though.

I hope you enjoy the video and learn a little bit about the Jasmine testing framework.
