Test files

Name of test file should has the suffix .test so that the testing utility could find and run it. Create a test file First.test.js in any project directory

require( 'wTesting' );

function myTest( test )
{
  /* describe what is going to happen */
  test.case = 'info about test case';

  /* do it and save results */
  var got = 'abc'.indexOf( 'a' );
  var expected = 0;

  /* compare result with expected */
  test.identical( got, expected );
}

/*
Map that describes test suit, contains
- name of the suit,
- map of test routines
- and other options
*/

var testSuite =
{
  name : 'name of my test suit',
  tests :
  {
      myTest : myTest
  }
}

/* Initilize test suit */
testSuite = wTestSuite( testSuite );

/* Run all tests of the suit */
wTester.test( testSuite.name );

Running tests

tst .run ./someDirectory

Running all test suites in directory by utility Testing. To run file First.test.js run command tst .run ./ in directory of file.

tst .run ./path/to/suite

Running of separate test suite by utility Testing.

node ./path/to/suite

Running of separate test suite by NodeJS directly.

Running options

Utility provides more control of testing process by running options. It is control parameters of the testing that is passed to the run command.

tst .run ./someDirectory verbosity:5

Option verbosity - change amount of output test information. Accepts a value from 0 to 9. Default value is 4.

tst .run ./path/to/suite routine:someRoutine

Option routine - used to test separate test routine. Accepts name of test routine.

tst .run ./someDirectory testRoutineTimeOut:10000

Option testRoutineTimeOut - limits the testing time for test routines. Accepts time in milliseconds. Default value is 5000ms.
