In this lesson we covered a set of technologies used for testing a Node server. These included:

  • Chai - a library for extending the built in Node assertion library
  • jsdom - a library for interacting and testing the DOM returned by the server (this functionality is encapsulated in our parseTextFromHTML helper function).
  • async / await - a pattern for making asynchronous code more readable
  • SuperTest - a library for making Node server requests and testing their responses

Instructions

1.

In the pane to the right there is a test that makes use of all the technologies. Run the test using npm test and verify it passes. In the next lesson, we’ll use these concepts to further explore testing a Node server.

When you are ready to move on, check your work.
