Detailed Description

A test case defines the fixture to run multiple tests.

To define a test case

1. implement a subclass of TestCase
2. define instance variables that store the state of the fixture
3. initialize the fixture state by overriding setUp
4. clean-up after a test by overriding tearDown. Each test runs in its own fixture so there can be no side effects among test runs.

For each test implement a method which interacts with the fixture. Verify the expected results with assertions specified by calling assertTrue with a boolean or one of the other assert functions.

Once the methods are defined you can run them. The framework supports both a static and more generic way to run a test. In the static way you override the runTest method and define the method to be invoked. The generic way uses the JavaScript functionality to enumerate a function's methods to implement runTest. In this case the name of the case has to correspond to the test method to be run.

The tests to be run can be collected into a TestSuite. JsUnit provides several test runners which can run a test suite and collect the results. A test runner expects a function FileNameSuite as the entry point to get a test to run.
