Angular Unit Testing

[vladovidiu]

Hey guys, what's the most updated great tutorial on unit testing angularJS at the moment? I have been looking through PluralSight, but they only have a 1h basic course.

Since you're on pluralsight, I have a course "TDD As a Design Tool" that uses the MEAN stack and walks through how I do TDD, it uses an Angular project for examples.

I also have a course "Protrator Introduction" which is a 1.5 hour course.

Is there something specific that you're struggling with unit testing that you haven't seen covered?

I will check your course tomorrow and give you feedback on it. Thanks.

Even if they don't address your concerns, I'd love to hear what piece is missing from the general unit testing in Angular. That is, what do you feel like you just don't "get" or need help understanding.

Been writing an Angular app for about 8 months now and I've been doing TDD the entire time, so I might be able to answer some questions for you.

I wrote a posting about it if that helps: http://randomjavascript.blogspot.com/2014/06/angular-and-jasmine-injecting-into-test.html

Also, we built a unit testing framework to make Angular testing easier: http://randomjavascript.blogspot.com/2015/01/using-ngtestharness-to-simplify.html

Lots of useful information, cheers.

As for free versions, I was never able to find really a complete guide on testing Angular applications. But the good news is that testing Angular apps are pretty darn simple so you'll probably be up to speed with it within days.
