Test first, then code, for more robust large-scale JavaScript applications

Experienced developers still struggle with the failure of large-scale JavaScript applications that collapse under their own weight. Reliable JavaScript provides the solution in the form of a test-driven workflow that produces robust applications that stand the test of time. This book uses unit tests to explain, demonstrate, and employ a wide variety of JavaScript patterns and architectures. As you follow along, you will become an expert in the test-driven development of JavaScript that is suitable for commercial software. If you are ready to bring a high level of software engineering to your JavaScript development, this book is for you.

Reliable JavaScript:

• Shows you how to write code that's verified correct the first time, and has the test coverage to remain correct throughout subsequent maintenance
• Surveys the current landscape of JavaScript frameworks for testing, dependency injection, and aspect-oriented programming
• Explains testability characteristics and how to construct objects to be testable
• Demonstrates the implementation and use of common design patterns and advanced JavaScript features and architectures
• Covers DOM access testing, including excessive updates, excessive access in loops, and XHR/JSONP requests
• Provides all of the book's code both in the text and on the companion website

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.
