Project Name

JavaScript Unit Testing

Project Description

Use an existing unit testing framework (or create one) and demonstrate its use by writing a collection of unit tests that fully test a browser feature of your choosing. The framework will provide decent setup and teardown code that will enable the programmer to start the browser, run the tests, report pass/fail and shutdown the browser.

  • Had really hard time on trying to understand how to build and run a test case. This involves the following technologies that I had never learned before:
    • XUL
    • install.rdf
    • chrome.manifest
    • Extension Wizard generator
  • Had read the links from Dave, it's very interesting, it's called test_nodelist.
