This session will explore unit and functional testing concepts applied to Titanium mobile and Alloy framework. After a brief introduction to testing we will look at the complete source code of a fully tested app.

1. Speed up your Titanium app
development with automated
tests

2. Home

3. I’m sorry :)

6. Meet the lead developer

7. The big
project

8. The important
customer

9. The
“not so friendly”
project manager

10. We have LITTLE TIME
NO BUDGET left…
We have to act FAST

11. It works!

12. Great Job! Now JUST ADD AN AIR
VENT and we are OK… its’ EASY

13. KABOOM!

15. “That’s not the way of working
you are looking for”

16. writing complex software on a
tight schedule to dark side may
take you...
“Testing or No Testing.
There is No Debugging.”

17. Manual
E2E Testing
Unit Testing
$
time
complexity
Automated

18. Test what gives you
VALUE
Test only what gives you

19. Eat your own

20. Functional test provides a safety net...

21. … let you sleep well after a workday

22. Unit tests ensure correctness...

23. … and let you improve codebase design

24. describe(“Something”, function(){
it(“should behave in some way”, function(){
var sut = require(“sut”); //Arrange
var success = sut.doSomething(); //Act
expect(result).toBe(true) //Assert
});
});
Unit Testing is simple...

25. ...you just need a good runner

26. describe("An awesome testing tool", function(){
it("should run on a real device", function(){
});
});

27. Install:
npm install -g tishadow
Generic app:
tishadow app -d tishadow_app
Appify:
tishadow appify -d tishadow_appify

28. Start server:
tishadow server
Connect your device(s)
Push your specs to all connected
devices.
tishadow spec
