Jasmine Given: Open Source BDD Framework for JavaScript

An open source behavior-driven development framework for web applications, simplifying spec writing and reading with features like 'describe' and 'it'

What is Jasmine Given?

Jasmine Given is an open source behavior-driven development framework for JavaScript that aims to simplify writing and reading specs for web applications. It extends the popular Jasmine testing framework by allowing developers to write specs in a Given-When-Then format, which reads more like plain language.

Some key features of Jasmine Given include:

• Natural language syntax for organizing tests
• 'Given-When-Then' structure for improved readability
• Easy to add to existing Jasmine test suites
• Promotes writing isolated and repeatable specs
• Focused on developer productivity and collaboration

Jasmine Given provides functions like 'describe' and 'it' to structure test suites and specs to improve organization. The 'Given' steps outline the preconditions and setup, 'When' steps describe actions or triggers, and 'Then' steps verify the outcomes. This allows developers to break down both simple and complex test cases into readable specification formats.

Overall, Jasmine Given builds on Jasmine to create more expressive and domain-driven test suites for web applications. Its emphasis on clear and explicit language aims to make writing, reading, and maintaining BDD specs straightforward for JavaScript developers.
