JavaScript Unit Testing in Visual Studio Part III

Testing Require.JS Modules

This is the 3rd post in this series, talking about JavaScript Unit Testing in Visual Studio.

In the first post we've set up the expectations, and one of them was compatibility with Require.JS, and in the previous post, we've went all the way from downloading the libraries, to running headless tests against multiple browsers from Visual Studio.

In this post we'll take it another step toward a modular application, and check out how this can also get tested with the stack we've already discussed.

Setting up the Environment for Headless Tests

In the previous post, we've set up the scene, by setting the expectations and picking the libraries & tools for the job.

In this post we will take it step-by-step, so you can follow and get active in the process.

So here we go...
