Testing tools

JS.Class includes a testing framework called JS.Test. You can use it to test any JavaScript code, not just programs written with JS.Class, and it’s designed to run on a wide variety of platforms without configuration. In combination with JS.Packages it makes it really easy to organise and run your test suite in a way that works cross-platform. It runs without modification on all of JS.Class’s supported platforms.

When running in the browser, JS.Test will automatically notify TestSwarm if you’re using it, so you can easily use JS.Test for your continuous integration setup.

Also note that tests include the JS.Console module so you can use puts() and other functions to emit output from your tests.
