UNIT VS. INTEGRATION TESTS

  • /apps/communications/contacts/test/unit/navigation_test.js 
  • Author: @gtorodelvalle (git blame on me :-p )
  • This "unit" test:
  • Checks that the Contacts app navigation library works as expected
  • Mocks the UI
  • Dispatches events (animetionend) as the communication means among the involved components

THIS IS NOT A UNIT TEST!!!

WHY INTEGRATION TESTS?

WHAT IS MARIONETTE? (I)

  • Marionette is an automation driver
  • Marionette runs as a server
  • Marionette makes it possible to send commands to a program built on the Gecko platform (Firefox, Firefox OS):
    • Simulating UI interactions
    • Running JavaScript code

WHAT IS MARIONETTE? (II)

THE MARIONETTE JS RUNNER
