AngularJS Test Example [closed]

Question

I don't know why but I'm finding it really difficult to get my head around setting up a JavaScript test using AngularJS.

I have my app.js, controller.js plus a number of other files for Ajax, Storage services, filters etc. My app works fine but I want to learn how to do E2E and unit testing.

I think I need to create a standalone HTML page that runs my tests, but I'm not sure, I'm also not sure which extra JavaScript files/libraries I might need.

Is there an AngularJS test example I could use to get the initial set-up?

Ideally I'd like to run the JS tests I create from within Visual Studio 2012...but that's a nice to have!

Answer 1

I find this tutorial a good start.

http://www.yearofmoo.com/2013/01/full-spectrum-testing-with-angularjs-and-testacular.html

It not only teaches how to do unit testing but also E2E and a special one ...Midway testing. A good reference IMHO.

Answer 2

I recomend you to look at angular-seed project. It has e2e test already setup. https://github.com/angular/angular-seed

Answer 3

AngularJS dev guide has a complete page on the subject: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/unit-testing

There is also a blog post mentioning a sample app in github including Testacular tests here: http://blog.angularjs.org/2012/11/angularjs-example-applications.html

Hope it helps.
