• YUI Test

  by Nicholas C. Zakas

  JavaScript testing has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. When YUI Test was first introduced in 2007, it was just the first step in a long process of bringing test-driven development to the front end. YUI Test evolved with the release of YUI 3 to introduce mock objects as feedback indicated a need. As feedback continued to come in, YUI Test continued to evolve. Learn about the next version of YUI Test, how it makes testing any JavaScript code easier, and the brand new tools that allow you to integrate your testing into a continuous integration environment.

• Yeti: YUI's Easy Testing Interface

  by Reid Burke

  Testing cross-browser web applications has been too difficult for too long: You're either manually reloading browsers or struggling with complicated automation software. YUI changed all of that with Yeti.
  Yeti delivers your test results from any number of browsers with one command. Yeti requires no "driver" software—if you can navigate a browser to a web page, you're set—so it's ideal for mobile device testing.

  In this session, you'll learn when you should use automated testing, how Yeti works with YUI Test, how to setup cross-browser testing in minutes and how the YUI team uses Yeti to ship a better product.

  You'll also learn how Yeti itself, written in JavaScript, leverages Node.js to make it all possible.
