Missing documentation on unit testing

[Djei]

There is currently no ressources in the user manual documenting the unit testing capabilities built around Aria templates.

Hello @Djei,

It's true there's no documentation explicitly in the usermanual, it doesn't mean though we don't have any documentation on it. We actually have quite a lot of it, but it's spread in few places.

Here's description of Aria Templates utility classes for testing templates, widgets etc:

http://ariatemplates.github.io/Test-Driven-Development/aria_testcase.html

We're using Attester to test Aria Templates itself, you can set it up to test your code too:

https://github.com/attester/attester
http://attester.ariatemplates.com/map.html

For reference here are our config files:

https://github.com/ariatemplates/ariatemplates/blob/master/test/attester.yml
https://github.com/ariatemplates/ariatemplates/blob/master/package.json#L20

This is a recurring comment though, so we should have an entry in the usermanual that, at least, links to the TDD doc (and possibly stuff still hosted on Topspot, to be verified.)

Thank you for the documentation links.

I think that suggestion from @olaf-k could be a very good short term substitute. Since there are no documentation on the official website, our secondary source of information is usually topspot reference manual. However the material on topspot is sometime outdated and can mislead developers.

Agreed with both previous speakers. The documentation on topspot (which is quite outdated though a lot of it is still valid) should be reviewed soon and migrated to http://ariatemplates.github.io/Test-Driven-Development

For reference, here is some internal documentation, some of which should be migrated to at.com / at.gh.io:
