Debugging Secrets of a Lazy Developer

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Automates client‑side unit tests for Modernizr’s ~630 tests by running PhantomJS on Travis CI for headless coverage and using the BrowserStack API plus Yeti + adapters to hit real mobile and desktop browsers. Builds a Node CLI called bu that spins a static server, tunnels with PageKite, launches up to ~10 remote browsers, collects QUnit/Jasmine results and script errors, and prints pass/fail back to the console. Demo works but stalls under too many simultaneous connections and the code is still rough.
