Description
I like words. I vastly prefer writing an essay to drawing a picture, writing command line apps to writing GUI apps, and writing back-end API servers to writing front-end interactive web applications.
But what we prefer to do and what we need to get done aren't always the same thing, and even back-end developers will sometimes need to put together a basic interactive front-end, and the related test cases to make sure it keeps working as intended.
Fortunately for us, the splinter web application testing library offers the necessary tools for even the most JavaScript-averse developer to get started writing automated tests for their front-end components, and this presentation will walk through the essentials of getting set up to write behavioural tests for an interactive front-end as easily as you do for your back-end API server.
