b9jTest: Simplifying and enhancing YUI Test
YUI Test is a great tool for javascript testing, but it has a couple of small issues:
- Setting up the HTML document requires many different
- The actual javascript code to set up the test environment is not trivial (setting up the TestRunner, setting up the TestLogger, etc.)
- A failed assertion will abort the test function immediately, preventing later tests from running
b9jTest addresses the problems above by:
- Bundling all the required
- Providing some boilerplate javascript so you can jump right into testing without a lot of setup
An example b9jTest document:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>b9jTest example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://appengine.bravo9.com/b9j/b9jTest.css">
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://appengine.bravo9.com/b9j/b9jTest.js"></script>
</head>
<body class="yui-skin-sam">
<div id="testLogger"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
b9jTest(function(test) {
test.areEqual("xyzzy", "xyzzy");
test.areEqual("apple", "apple");
test.areEqual("banana", "banana");
});
</script>
</body>
b9jTest() is a global function that accepts a function that is called with a testing object. The testing object provides access to the standard YUI assertions and more.

do, after all. The fact that it takes a little hard work from the
programmer to make the computer do hard work should not be a
consideration when the payoff is big.
