Unit testing your Javascript with jasmine (Udemy.com)

The content of the course is good, the teacher speaks calmly and clearly. This is a good course to learn Jasmine from scratch. The only thing to improve in my opinion is the CI section: it could have better context explaining what each tool is and why should we use it or at least some links where the student can find that info.

Learning a lot not just about how to set up specs and expectations, but why and how to think about creating tests. The unexpected bonus was getting a review of HTML, CSS, and Javascript at the very beginning by setting up a simple website. Really enjoying the pace and clarity of material, where only several times so far the subject matter has been over my head. Maybe just needs to be revisited and practiced. Subtitles could be useful in some cases, but not an issue 99% of time. I actually am enjoying the accent :D Looking forward to making it through the entire course and finding ways to apply this to projects at work.

I'm getting the hang of Jasmine, so very happy with the course in that respect. I deducted one star because I felt the intro digressed a bit much into CSS (which taught me stuff I didn't know, but doesn't really belong here), and too much of the JavaScript was pre-coded, losing an opportunity to demonstrate test-first design.

Good introduction to cover the basics of Jasmine, starting from the ground up with a barebones project consisting of html and js files without npm. However, some videos are showing their age. For example, a video with instructions to download an external dependency (custom matchers) via a link to a js file, no longer works. I had to spend some time figuring out how to work around the problem. It would be nice if the video had mentioned the workaround to save me the time of troubleshooting the problem. The version of the tool suggested for test coverage, istanbul, is deprecated. It would be nice if the video was updated to teach students how to use the new version of Istanbul. As Github now supports CI/CD via github actions, it would be nice if this was covered instead of introducing another tool, travis CI.

This is a good course for beginner to learn some basic concepts about unit testing. I personally not like spend some lectures on explain how different API work, I think it is better to teach how to search document. And I think it is better to add some brief lectures to compare Jasmine with other popular testing libraries. I like at the end of each section, there has a summary section.

This is hands down the best course on Udemy. I wish all courses were on this pace, slowly showing concepts and picking up from there. I have the feeling that most instructors start with good intentions to show beginners how to use a framework/learn a concept, but after a couple of lessons start rushing off to the end. This is not the case with Juan and Reynaldo. They took the time to explain most of the nooks and crannies of Jasmine. For me with a couple of years working as dev (yes, without tests!) there was a lot of basics, but that didn't bother me at all. You can turn the playback a little bit faster or quick jump the lessons. I would love to see other topics like this from these instructors. The only thing missing for me was a couple of examples how to deal with Test Driven Development. But at least this was also mentioned in the course. Overall kudos to the instructors! Keep on rockin'!

Very good course, I do a lot of course on Udemy and too often they either jump from too basic to too technical, this one is not one of those courses. It is really clear, he explains very well the different concept and application with concrete examples. Jasmine is definitely a technology I will be using in my Javascript's application.

Picked up this course to fill in the gaps of other online course that rushed through the topic. Juan is very good at taking things slow and showing exactly what is happening and why. He even throws in a few explanations that beginners may not know, just so that you are up to speed with what he wants to teach you. Took me around 2 days to get through the course for what I needed (so far haven't completed the last section), but that is also taking notes and completing all the exercises. You can go through the exercises as he does and if you followed along correctly it will work (I've had other courses that even though they did step-by-step, they left things out, making your files not work). I would recommend to any beginners of Jasmine. :)

This course will show you a pretty good overview of the jasmine framework. You will go through the documentation and use all of the common methods on an app you created. I think it's good to learn jasmine on code you are familiar with since writing tests is almost like documenting the code. Even though you are learning by testing vanilla javascript, the concepts are still there and I'm sure will be handy when testing other languages/frameworks. The one thing I had a problem with is not using the es6 functions the whole time, and the async section was somewhat brief. Slightly dated in that sense, but like I said, still handy knowledge for the methods used in Jasmine.

Jasmine sections very good, then all of a sudden karma is introduced and implies the way jasmine used for most of course is not to correct way to use jasmine. Tittle is "Javascript with jasmine" but whole course is javascript in a web browser vs javascript in node. Expected node to be covered too. Spy capabilities of jasmine are impressive and a real surprise (good). People who have not used such test frameworks would expect the value of test frameworks is mostly reporting, so marginal value. Spy capabilities and value of jasmine be introduced up front.
