Welcome to the backender wiki!

This JavaScript tool allows you to very SIMPLY create a test back-end setup on the fly for your front end development , there by giving you the ability to

  1. Setup a back-end json api endpoint
  2. Set up a dynamic api endpoint
  3. Setup a reverse proxy
  4. Setup a static file server

It also enables you to setup a test environment which will enable you to

  1. Create JavaScript unit tests
  2. Create automated browser UI tests
  3. Take screen shots when test fails as well as at any other point
  4. You can also create steps that are re-usable

I searched and couldn't find a very simple tool that had every thing I wanted in one framework. I wanted to be able to simply run something like

npm install & go

that will give me both testing, browser automation and beck-end api mocking capabilities without any extensive setup and installation etc. The guys at DalekJS http://dalekjs.com/pages/getStarted.html shares in a lot of my frustrations and has created something awesome which I have used in this tool as well. But I still wanted more.

What this is , is adding a bit of more functionality to what they have made, so that i have one stop shop for my automated UI testing needs

Regards

Sam.
