“Just make the Intern do the testing” Build Status

Intern is a complete test stack for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. It can be used to test any JavaScript code. Its functional testing capabilities can even be used to test non-JavaScript Web and mobile apps, if you really want.

Quick start

  1. Install from npm

    cd /my/project/root
    npm install intern --save-dev
    
  2. Create a copy of the example configuration file in your package’s test directory and edit appropriately. See the configuration documentation for a list of all available options.

    mkdir tests ; cp node_modules/intern/tests/example.intern.js tests/intern.js
    
  3. Verify your configuration works by running the Node.js client and seeing that no errors are output.

    node_modules/.bin/intern-client config=tests/intern
    
  4. Start writing tests! See the writing tests documentation and the Intern tutorial to learn how.
