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.
