The important part in the preceding code is the $.getJSON call, an AJAX request expecting a JSON response containing an updated share price, such as:

{ "sharePrice": 20.18 }

By now, you can see that we are stuck; in order to run this spec, we will need a server running.

Setting up the scenario

Since this book is all about JavaScript, we are going to create a very simple Node.js server to be used by the specs. Node.js is a platform that allows the development of network applications, such as web servers, using JavaScript.

In Chapter 6, Light Speed Unit Testing, we are going to see alternative solutions to test AJAX requests without the need for a server. And in Chapter 8, Build Automation, we are going to see how to use Node.js as a foundation for an advanced build system.
