Enabling JavaScript Unit Testing Support

At the IntelliJ IDEA level, JavaScript browser-side unit testing is supported through the JSTestDriver plugin. This plugin does the following:

• Runs the JSTestDriver server that captures an opened browser to execute tests in.
• During the test creation, detects the unit testing framework the test code complies with, whereupon suggests the Add <test framework> support intention action, provided that the framework is recognized as a IntelliJ IDEA JavaScript library and is thus available in the IDE.

At the project level, JavaScript unit testing is supported through integration with JavaScript unit testing frameworks:

• JSTestDriver Assertion framework. The framework libraries are bundled with the JSTestDriver plugin.
• Jasmine.
• QUnit.
