Jasmine is an open source Behavior Driven Development (BDD) based testing framework for JavaScript. Jasmine aims to run on any Javascript-enabled platform, to not intrude on the application nor the IDE, and to have easy-to-read syntax.
It can be used in the Rails framework. Jasmine ships as a Rubygem and leverages familiar rake tasks and generators to automate common workflows. Jasmine is heavily influenced by other unit testing frameworks, such as ScrewUnit, JSSpec, JSpec, and RSpec; and has syntax very similar to RSpec.
Background
The Jasmine framework was developed since developers to address certain specific concerns in existing testing frameworks <ref>https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki/Background</ref>
- Many frameworks only work from within a browser.
- Many don't support testing asynchronous code like event callbacks.
- Some have syntax that's hard for JS developers or IDEs to understand.
