[orion-dev] JavaScript unit tests have returned

[Mark Macdonald <mamacdon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Client-side JS unit tests are now running in the orion-client job on Hudson. You can view the latest test results here: https://hudson.eclipse.org/orion/job/orion-client/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/%28root%29/

Test facts

• We are using Sauce Labs to run the tests in various browsers.
  
  
• The test count
  shown in Hudson
  (
  ~
  4000
  )
  counts tests multiple times (once per platform). We're running on 4 platforms right now, so divide the test count by 4 to get the real number of tests.
  
• The
  platforms we run on are as follows. I think we've covered the most popular runtimes, but more can be added if needed.
• Chrome 26 (Windows 7)
• Firefox 24 (Linux)
  
  
• IE 10 (Windows 7)
• Safari 7 (Mavericks)

I haven't finished converting all of Orion's old JsTestDriver test cases to Mocha yet, so test figures will increase in the coming days as I add more.
