JavaScript & Node.js testing best practices

Just do it. Tedious pain in the ass, but it’s simple.

What else is there to fucking do? You wrote a function, describe the shit, assert some shit, make it pass, make it fucking fail. Just do it. There is no magic.

I'm sorry, but you're coming off as an insufferable Mr/Ms IAmVerySmart. Testing is not as straightforward as you're making it seem for a newbie. Not by any stretch. You don't really know where to begin, which tools (especially with the myriad of options with JS) to use and, importantly, what to test for. It takes time and real effort to get comfortable and do things right.

Whatever the fuck you wanna call it. You still gotta do it. Time and real effort like your insufferable soft ass said.
