Testing experiments on the Peepcode Ordr EmberJS Application

See: Peepcode EmberJS Screencast.

Objectives

The Ordr application in the Peepcode screencast is a perfect application to experiment upon:

1. Small
   • 85 lines of Javascript
   • <100 lines of HTML/templating
2. Sophisticated
   • 5 classes
   • Key relationships
   • Exploits EmberJS features (which it should since it's an EmberJS tutorial!)

Hence, it's a reasonable "smallest realistic" Ember app to "play with". So here we're playing with testem to perform integration testing on the Ordr application.

Maturity

We just built this on March 5, 2013; but we got docs and a running test! We're going to be testing numerous different testing metaphors and will be documenting them as we go along. Please offer suggestions/ feedback/etc and/or come join us!

Installation

1. Clone this application into your favorite work directory:

   git clone git@github.com:OC-Emberjs/peepcode-ordr-test.git
   

2. Install testem.

3. In a console window:

   cd peepcode-ordr-test
   bundle install
   testem
   

4. Observe that testem is running.

5. Connect browsers to testem as documented by testem.

6. Observe test results both in connected browsers and in testem browser page itself.

At this point, we have coffee-based test scripts here:

js/tests/tests/*
