Say No(de) to the Browser: Testing your Webapp Frontend Code Using Just Node
summary
Claims that full frontend integration tests run entirely under Node using JSDOM under Node with Babel/register, Mocha and React and without launching real browsers. Implements a counter app, exercises clicks and DOM updates via jQuery and mocks HTTP with nock, and reports ten times faster runs and hundreds of tests finishing in seconds. Visual screenshots and serviceworkers or webworkers remain unsupported so one or two real browser checks are still required to validate rendering.
