with Heisenberg being an opinionated ~~framework~~ base project, a starter kit for testing should be included...

:thought_balloon: thoughts?

This would be good to see. It might be worth looking at @rmurphey's js-testing-boilerplates project for ways of doing it.

Completely agree. I landed JSHInt support in through Grunt last night, but yeah we need to set up some basic sample test structure.

benhowdle89 commented 11 years ago

Yeah, this would be great, because testing is something I've yet to force into my workflow, so it'd definitely help people see it from the outset...

jackfranklin commented 11 years ago

My immediate thoughts on this:

should integrate it into Grunt
Should make it very easy to swap out frameworks. There's so many (QUnit, Jasmine, Mocha, etc) so we can't pick one to please everyone but it should be very easy to drop in another framework over which ever one we choose to go with by default.
Should write 2-3 very basic specs that test the sample "Add" module.

Personally I really like Jasmine but I'm not fussed either way on which one we go for. Jasmine also has a fixtures plugin for DOM manipulation.

benhowdle89 commented 11 years ago

I can only speculate on this issue, because I don't currently build testing into my workflow - however I've heard great things about Jasmine.

I know last night on IRC @phuu suggested testacular?
