<h1>About</h1>
<p>
foounit is an asynchronous BDD-style javascript test framework aimed at making cross-environment javascript testing simple. foounit is designed to make testing code that is shared between the server and the client less of a chore. It supports both commonjs loading and global scope loading of script files for immediate test dependencies in all environments. Test files are loaded in a functionally scoped environment to help minimize test pollution when running your suite. Test syntax is influenced heavily by Screw Unit, Jasmine and rspec.</p>
<p>
foounit is the love child of Bob Remeika (<a href="http://bobremeika.com">me</a>). It was <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/foobarfighter/status/71670398349099008">written out of spite</a> while consuming large amounts of alcohol. If you notice some bad code within foounit, it's definitely due to alcohol abuse. I'm not even going to try to pretend that I *meant* to do that. If you want to help with code quality then <a href="https://github.com/foobarfighter/foounit">patches are accepted</a>.
</p>
<p>
A common question that I get is why didn't I just use Jasmine. See the <a href="#/faq/jasmine">FAQ</a>.
</p>
<p>
foounit is currently used at <a href="http://www.yammer.com">Yammer Inc.</a> as the primary test harness for a core component of our client/server side architecture called yamjs.
</p>
<p>
foounit is a <a href="http://dojofoundation.org/">Dojo Foundation</a> project and is licensed under the Dojo Foundation License. This basically <a href="http://dojofoundation.org/about/hundredpoint">means</a> that no One Company owns the project and the code is gauranteed to be IP Free (free as in beer). This is another reason <a href="#/faq/jasmine">why I didn't want to use Jasmine</a>.
