Preface
The book will provide the reader with a complete guide to the test-driven development (TDD) approach for AngularJS. It will provide step-by-step, clear examples to continually reinforce TDD best practices. The book will look at both unit testing with Karma and end-to-end testing with Protractor. It will not only focus on how to use the tools, but also on understanding the reason they were built, and why they should be used. Throughout, there will be focus on when, where, and how to use these tools, constantly reinforcing the principles of the TDD life cycle (test, execute, refactor).
