Michael Mathews will talk about Unit Testing in JavaScript.

Creating unit tests in JavaScript is easier than you probably think and will make the job of building and debugging your application faster, easier and more reliable. This talk will include a short introduction to the basic concepts and benefits of unit testing and a complete walkthrough of how to implement your own unit tests.

Michael is currently a Client-Side Developer working for the BBC. He has been building high-usage commercial web sites since 1998 for companies such as MTV, HBO, Oxygen Television, the Gucci Group, and Chellomedia. He is the creator and current maintainer of the JsDoc tool, and an advocate for best practices in scripting for the web.

  “ It was great to hear about other people's experience with unit testing Javascript. ”

  “ Unittesting is one of those things like editors which gets developers breaking out in hives. I was wary of this fact as I walked in the door but thankfully, the session was welll structured and very informative. We write a lot of javascript but have never considered testing them until now. With knowledge gained from both speakers and some more research, I am a little bit more certain about how to proceed with testing our javascript collection (for want of a better word). This was well worth attending. ”
