This repo includes a set of tests that can be used to assess the skills of a candidate for a JavaScript position

To use the tests, you will need to install Node -- you can do this via the download page or using Homebrew if you are on a Mac.

Note that on Windows, there are some reports that you will need to restart after installing Node - see #12.

You can clone or download this repo. Once you have done so, from the root directory of the repo, run:

npm install
node bin/serve

You can then view the tests in your browser at http://localhost:4444.

When you visit that page, all of the tests should be failing; your job is to get the tests to pass. To do this, you'll need to refer to the tests in the files in the tests/app directory, and edit the files in the app/ directory. Once you update a test, you can reload the test page in the browser to see whether it worked.

You can also run (most of) the tests on the command line:

npm test

The command line runner is a work in progress; contributions welcome :)

The repo includes jQuery, Backbone, Underscore, and RequireJS. If there's other stuff you'd find useful, you can put it in the lib directory.
