Appendix A. Testing AngularJS Applications

An important part, if not the most important part, of any AngularJS project is testing. Good testing provides you with the freedom to modify, adapt, and grow your AngularJS applications without major complications and problems. There are several types of testing that I’ve heard about through the years. For this appendix I want to talk only about unit testing and end-to-end testing and how they relate to AngularJS.

This appendix is designed as more of an informational introduction to testing AngularJS applications. For the most part, the appendix discusses concepts with a few examples and then points you to some locations where you can get additional information. The reason for this is that there is no single way to test AngularJS applications. Your testing strategy should be based on your environment, your skill set, your budget, and the specific needs of your application.
