Integration testing your ember.js app with QUnit and Karma

Published July 21, 2013 by Toran Billups

When ember.js RC3 was released back in April, it included an official ember-testing package that aimed to fill the integration testing void in the ecosystem.

I didn't jump in head first initially because I was still trying to use jasmine for everything and felt the switch to QUnit would be painful (shows how little I knew about either framework). But after I spent some time unit testing ember.js components with QUnit, I started playing around with the ember-testing package and now I can't say enough good things about it. I think of it like using all the good parts of selenium without any of the slow feedback cycle.

I decided to do a short screencast on the subject to show people how to use it for both unit and integration testing. I also show how to run your QUnit tests with the karma test runner (with some help from the ember-karma-preprocessor plugin to precompile any handlebars templates)
