I've got a way to run tests across every browser and device out there except for IE8, and IE8 should work except I'm running into a Browserstack bug that I've let them know about. It uses a project called bunyip, which internallt uses Yeti (YUI), Pagekite, and Browserstack. Next steps include: - Making it all automatic. Right now you have to wait for browsers to connect and then manually hit enter when they have. - Make it a grunt task - Document it all so others can use it I think this is close enough for me to close the milestone 4.0 issue. |

QUnit - A JavaScript Unit Testing framework.
QUnit is a powerful, easy-to-use, JavaScript test suite. It's used by the jQuery project to test its code and plugins but is capable of testing any generic JavaScript code (and even capable of testing JavaScript code on the server-side).
QUnit is especially useful for regression testing: Whenever a bug is reported, write a test that asserts the existence of that particular bug. Then fix it and commit both. Every time you work on the code again, run the tests. If the bug comes up again - a regression - you'll spot it immediately and know how to fix it, because you know what code you just changed.
Having good unit test coverage makes safe refactoring easy and cheap. You can run the tests after each small refactoring step and always know what change broke something.
QUnit is similar to other unit testing frameworks like JUnit, but makes use of the features JavaScript provides and helps with testing code in the browser, eg. with it's stop/start facilities for testing asynchronous code.
If you are interested in helping developing QUnit, you are in the right place. For related discussions, visit the QUnit and Testing forum.
Planning for a qunitjs.com site and other testing tools related work now happens on the jQuery Testing Team planning wiki.
