Enabling JavaScript Unit Testing Support

WebStorm 6.0.1 Web Help

At the WebStorm 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 WebStorm 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.
