Summary

Testing is one of the most important processes of software development. Well-organized testing helps keep the code in a good working state. It’s especially important in interpreted languages such as JavaScript, which has no compiler to provide a helping hand to find lots of errors in very early stages.

In this situation, static code analysis tools, such as JSHint (discussed in Chapter 5) could help identify typos and enforce best practices accepted by the JavaScript community.

In enterprise projects developed with compiled languages, people often debate whether TDD is really beneficial. With JavaScript, it’s nondebatable unless you have unlimited time and budget and are ready to live with unmaintainable JavaScript.

The enterprises that have adopted test-driven development (as well as behavior-driven development) routines make the application development process safer by including test scripts in the continuous integration build process.

Automating unit tests reduces the number of bugs and decreases the amount of time developers need to spend manually testing their code. If automatically launched test scripts (unit, integration, functional, and load testing) don’t reveal any issues, you can rest assured that the latest code changes did not break the application logic, and that the application performs according to SLA.
