Recently I've been doing more complex JavaScript coding. As part of the process, I wanted a better approach for JavaScript unit tests. After a Google I've settled on using QUnit, from the jquery guys.
QUnit runs in browser, which I wanted, since I like to test on an actual browser JavaScript engine; its closer to what the user experiences. I also wanted to be able to run the tests the same way I run .net tests; in my IDE (vstudio), but out of the box quint can't do that.
There are approaches to use QUnit with a server, but these focus on CI; a good thing; but not what I was after.
So, with a little code, and some convention, I use a simple mstest base class to start a web server, open a page, run quint, return the result. I also use a small bit of JavaScript to get QUnit to call back to my test, reporting results.
See the gist: qunit + mstest; using simple in-proc webserver (https://gist.github.com/2784505)
With this, I now run the unit test in v studio, same as normal tests. Too easy.
