/phantom-testlib

Library for testing websites, backed by phantomjs, TAP compatible

Primary LanguageJavaScript

A library for writing web application tests in javascript.

Provides a procedural interface for writing tests, so you don't have to grok event based programming. Uses PhantomJS to provide a webkit-based headless browser to run your tests against.

Synopsis

phantom.injectJs('testlib.js');
var t = new Test('https://github.com');
t.open('/');
t.is(t.text('title'), 'GitHub · Social Coding', 'Homepage loaded');
t.done();

Notes

It's early days for this project, feel free to contribute.

For now (a temporary restriction), the page you are testing must have JQuery loaded. We'll work around this shortly.
