This repo includes a set of tests that can be used to assess the skills of a candidate for a JavaScript position, or to improve one's own skills.
To use the tests, you will need to install Node -- you can do this via the download page or using Homebrew if you are on a Mac. You will also need to install npm.
You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:
npm install
node bin/serve
You can then view the tests in your browser at http://localhost:4444.
When you visit that page, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to
get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to edit the files in the
tests/app directory. The tests have inline comments that should point you in
the right direction; once you update a test, you can reload the test page in
the browser to see whether it worked.
Submit a pull request! The tests are currently loosely organized by topic, so
you should do your best to add tests to the appropriate file in tests/app, or
create a new file there if you don't see an appropriate one. If you do create
a new file, make sure to add it to tests/runner.js.
Any substantial contributions will be duly credited in the readme, as well as of course in the git commit log.
If your tests need data that can be fetched via XHR, stick a .json file in
the data directory; you can access it at /data/<filename>.json.
The repo includes Backbone, Underscore, and RequireJS. If there's other stuff
you'd find useful, you can put it in the lib directory.
I haven't worked out how best to show the answers, or whether to show them at all. For now, if you're stuck, the tests themselves should include enough keywords that your friendly neighborhood search engine can point you in the right direction.
This repo uses RequireJS for dependency management and Mocha and expect.js for the tests themselves. It uses the BDD style for authoring tests. If this doesn't suit you, please fork away, or, better, submit a pull request that lets this be more flexible than it currently is.
