AngularJS–Part 15 - End to end tests and mocking

This post will show how we solve the problem when we need to write an E2E test that involves connecting to and getting some data from an external service provider that is either not under our control or that we explicitly do not want to include in our tests.

Angular JS–Part 14 - End to end tests

Automated end to end tests are an important part of the continuous integration and continuous delivery cycle. Without automated end to end tests delivering a new release of an application becomes burdensome. Manual regression testing can take weeks depending how complex the application is. That implicates that code freeze has to happen a long time before the product is ready to be deployed or ready to ship. Not only does this slow down the development or improvement of the application, no, it is also very expensive.

AngularJS–Part 11 - Promises

Using callback functions to achieve asynchrony in code becomes just way too complicated when you have to compose multiple asynchronous calls and make decisions depending upon the outcome of this composition. While handling the normal case is still somewhat feasible it starts to become very ugly when you have to provide rock solid exception handling.

Comes the Promise to the rescue!

AngularJS–Part 9 - Values and constants

Sometimes we need some data that is globally available but at the same time we do not want to pollute the global (window) namespace with the definition for this data. Angular provides us the value and constant services which can do exactly this. Values and constants declared in this way can be injected into any controller or service like any other dependency (e.g. $scope, $http, etc.).

AngularJS–Part 8 - More choice when testing

While digging a bit deeper into the world of testing in and around Angular I was made aware of testem, another awesome framework agnostic test runner. This test runner is extremely simple to setup and we are up and running in no time.

AngularJS–Part 7 - Getting ready to test

Test driven development (TDD) is very important when developing a web application with a rich client since JavaScript is a dynamic language and thus there is no compiler making sure that our code behaves like expected. Tests are our only safety net. Writing tests in JavaScript and running them in a browser is not trivial. Lately the situation has improved quite a bit. Still, to get up and running for the first time is a non trivial task.

AngularJS–Part 6 - Templates

In Angular when we talk of a template we really mean the view with the HTML enriched by the various Angular directives and the markup used for data binding (the expressions in double curly braces {{ }}). We can of course go a step further and not only regard a whole HTML document as a template but also any HTML fragment, often called partials.

AngularJS–Part 4 - Accessing server side resources

AngularJS offers different built-in ways of communicating with a server. The service we want to discuss here is the so called $http service. It provides us an easy and elegant way to communicate via HTTP protocol with a web server. We get the $http service in a controller via dependency injection.

AngularJS–Part 2 - The controller

AngularJS strongly encourages us to separate concerns and put all logic/code into controllers and keep the view (the html page or html fragment) free from any JavaScript.
