As more and more of the development for the applications, we depend on moves to JavaScript we need to get better at testing our Code. This class is a 3-day boot camp designed to help developers learn how to test web code effectively. Students will learn how to test driven development and use tests to find and isolate bugs in their code.

The course will cover writing tests with Mocha and JSVerify for both frontend JavaScript and Node.js applications. The goal of the course is that at the end of three days that students should feel ready to do Test Driven development and write exploratory tests to find defects that may exist in a code base.

It will also teach students to use JSVerify to do property-based tests which can find the corner cases that they may not have thought of and further check for correctness of an application.

Students will be expected to know JavaScript before the course starts and should plan to bring a laptop with npm or docker installed.
