At the very begin of the book, the author mentioned that, for the sake of
|
|
|
|
|
showing tests, there would be a complete application to be used as an example.
|
|
|
|
|
My thought, at this point was: Finally, a book talking more about how to
|
|
|
|
|
connect Backbone elements than _Backbone.js Essentials_. Well, I was mistaken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There isn't much of Backbone itself in this book. When it says "Backbone.js
|
|
|
|
|
*Testing*", it actually means that Backbone is just a background thingy to
|
|
|
|
|
talk about Mocha, Chai and Sinon. If the author decided to write a "React.js
|
|
|
|
|
Testing", there wouldn't be more much in the topics, just a few adjustments
|
|
|
|
|
there and there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means this book is back? Actually not. Although not focusing directly on
|
|
|
|
|
Backbone, it *does* focus a lot on testing and all related libraries. Even if
|
|
|
|
|
you don't work with Backbone -- but have at least some general idea about how
|
|
|
|
|
it works -- it is a damn good book about JavaScript testing.
