Intro

This is a quick example project to show how a test environment can be setup in Node.js

It includes the following

Mocha - testing framework
Chai - assertion library
Istanbul - coverage testing
SinonJs - stubs and splices for mocking data

The following online tools are used to monitor results

Travis CI - Continuous Integration
David DM - Dependency Management
Codacy - Automated Code Quality Reviews
Inch CI - Documentation Reviews
