Reliable JavaScript: How to Code Safely in the World’s Most Dangerous LanguageThis book is a test-first exploration of software architecture in JavaScript. We will describe several patterns and practices, each time explaining what they are supposed to do by writing unit tests. Then, we will write the code to pass the tests. In this way, developers will not only learn techniques for structuring large-scale applications, but how to test their work. Given JavaScripts dynamic nature, thorough unit-test coverage is even more essential than in strongly typed languages like C# or Java. Our goal in this test-driven book is to model a practice that will lead to code that is verified to be correct initially, and has the test coverage to ensure that it stays correct during subsequent maintenance. Writing testable JavaScript Writing more concise and elegant code by thinking in JavaScript rather than thinking in C# and writing JavaScript Surveying the current landscape of JavaScript frameworks for testing, dependency injection and aspect-oriented programming Testing the implementation and use of common design patterns Testing the use of advanced JavaScript features Testing conformance to your organizations coding standards All code will be available in Wileys online site as well as in the text.
