Test Driven Development with AngularJS
summary
Test driven development for AngularJS demonstrates concrete steps: start with a failing spec, write minimal code, iterate to grow behavior. Uses red-green-refactor, runs tests with Karma + Jasmine (auto-watch, Chrome), mocks with Canon, and shows controller vs service test patterns, scope injection, and provider-based service mocking. Example is a shopping cart exercised via incremental specs; a claimed migration from a 100,000-line Backbone app cuts source to about 30% of the original lines. Code lives as the NG Shopper app with step-by-step commits.
