A test-driven JS assessment

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.

Isn't this a fork of Rebecca Murphey's js-assessment?

Sure it is. We just hate <some technology she's chosen>, so as she suggested, we've forked away. Rebecca, we love you, for your awesome job on original js-assessment. We've had hard time making this decision but we really hate your technology stack.

I want to work on the tests; what do I do?

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.

Note that on Windows, there are some reports that you will need to restart after installing Node - see #12.

You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:

npm install
npm start

This will start karma test runner with PhantomJS. Your tests will be run whenever you modify the sources.

At first, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to refer to the tests in the files in the test/spec directory, and edit the files in the impl/ directory. Once you update a test, check the console to see whether it worked.

As we're using Karma, you may choose different browser than PhantomJS, i.e. Chrome. Simply edit browsers section in test/karma.conf.js.

I want to contribute tests; what do I do?

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 test/spec, 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 a stub for the solution to the corresponding file in impl/.

Any substantial contributions will be duly credited in the readme, as well as of course in the git commit log.

I hate <some technology you've chosen>

You must be joking! This stack is top-notch. But if it gets outdated over time. Just let us know or go back to Rebecca Murphey
