This example will be used to showcase test driven development. The goal is to develop a functional "calculator" app.

Tools

• install git on your local machine
  • Git downloads
• install Node.js on your machine
  • Node.js download

Environment

• setup the proxy
  • git: git config --global http.proxy https://proxy:8080/
  • npm: npm config set proxy https://proxy:8080/
  • npm: npm config set https-proxy https://proxy:8080/

Source

• download the repository as ZIP file
• alternatively, log in to GitHub and fork https://github.com/thomasbeck/workshop.git
• clone the repo git clone https://github.com/YourAccount/workshop.git

App Dependencies

• run npm install -g grunt-cli in the repo directory to install the grunt command line interface
• run npm install in the repo directory install package dependencies
• run grunt develop in the repo directory to start the test runner
• visit your browser at https://localhost:4444

You can now start writing your tests and implement the methods (there's only stubs for now). You'll find

• the tests in tests/app/calculator.js
• the app in app/calculator.js

You might want to create a separate branch for your features.
