#Introduction

In the previous posts “Testing Node applications with Intern framework” I demostrated how to set up testing environment for unit tests with Intern and Grunt and in “REST end to end testing Node applications with Intern framework” I demonstrated how to test REST endpoints with end to end tests in a speed of unit tests. Today I will show how to organize Quality Assurance environment for Unit, Integration and Functional tests.

#Grunt and task conventions

Here are tasks which we are using while testing:

  • test - execute all tests (unit, integration, functional)
  • testing - as above in a watch loop, reexecutes tests when implementation or test sources changes
  • test-unit - execute unit tests
  • testing-unit - as above in a watch loop, reexecutes tests when implementation or test sources changes
  • test-functional - execute functional
  • testing-functional - as above in a watch loop, reexecutes tests when implementation or test sources changes
  • test-integration - execute integration tests
  • testing-integration - as above in a watch loop, reexecutes tests when implementation or test sources changes

Require

  • var suite = require('intern!object') - require internal intern suite object
  • var tester = require('../lib/restServerTester') - require AMD styled file
  • var express = require('intern/dojo/node!express') - require CommonJS module
  • var swagger = require('intern/dojo/node!../../index') - require custom CommonJS module from relative path
